SocketCAN DUNE implementation

CANbus support was not present in DUNE, and therefore had to be added. Since the Raspberry Pi on the Otter is using Linux, we can use the SocketCAN package, which comes with the Linux kernel by default.

Many DUNE tasks use an interface defined by IO::Handle, and so does this CAN implementation. Apart from the setup, using CAN thus becomes identical to using Serial or TCP in DUNE. This also enables use of the Poll::poll function, and makes it possible to only read the SocketCAN buffer when there is something in it. Reading it without checking will result in the task waiting until a CAN message is received. An example of reading with the DUNE socketCAN implementation is:
