Version 1.2.0:

- Ticker increments clockCnt on exit (first hook call with clockCnt=0)

- Protocol startup phase closer to original:
  - id155[0] set to 0xFF on Init
  - Transition from Init to Ready after 100 ms
  - 3MW timing changed to 200 ms
  - id155[3] update coupled to 3MW switch

- Added API functions to query charger infos:
  - int getChargerTemperature();
  - float getDCConverterCurrent();
  - bool isPluggedIn();
  - bool isSwitchedOn();
