20RFID Studio: encode, check and simulate EPCs

EPC encoding and decoding after the GS1 EPC Tag Data Standard 2.3, implemented from the standard's text: SGTIN-96/198, SSCC-96, SGLN-96/195, GRAI-96/170, GIAI-96/202 and the TDS 2.0 schemes SGTIN+, DSGTIN+, SSCC+, SGLN+, GRAI+ and GIAI+. Plus the ^RF commands, the consistency check "does the tag carry the SSCC/GTIN that is printed?" and a Gen2 tag simulator for the virtual printer.

Errors throw EpcException with the reason (check digit, partition, filter, character …). Limits of the check: printed keys are found in GS1 symbols, Digital Link URIs, EAN/UPC and bracketed human-readable text, not as plain text without an AI; ^RS settings persist across formats on a printer and are therefore checked as advice only.
