Variant administration

The update of variants has been added and works via the Assembly updater.
After the Assembly updater has been terminated, the graphical representation of the CMs is
updated correspondingly when the Function diagram is opened.
Technically speaking, the matching of CMT and variant functions as follows:
● All those at the variant are added to the CMT if they do not yet exist
● Existing objects remain and also retain added values unless the variant brings other values
with. In this case the values are overwritten
● Objects at the CMT that no longer exist at the variant are deleted
● All the added functions in the variant are added to the instances.
● When some functions are deleted in the type, they are also deleted in the instances.
Note
Non-updated objects at the CMT
Values of signals and parameters as well as comments are not updated
In the case of a conflict, types overwrite the status of the instance.
