Added a new backend for Liconic STX series of automated incubators. It is compatible with existing incubator backend commands also added a number of new incubator backend commands. Also added a new pice of hardware barcode_scanner which can be optionally initialized with a Liconic incubator to read barcodes with optional read_barcode variables added to current and added incubator commands. Right now the barcode is just printed to terminal as the incubator backed typically only returns the Plate object or nothing. If there was a barcode field added to the Plate resource that seems to be obvious place to return the scanned barcode but that could be done in the future. For now the Keyence BL-1300 barcode scanner is the only model support but other models could be easily integrated. Documentation in user_guide > 01_material-handling > liconic.ipynb is also provided.
