The AIDA TLU Constellation satellite currently does not provide a way to set the DUTMaskModeModifier register on the AIDA2020 TLU, and by default sets this register to zero. This is inconsistent with the default value loaded by the EUDAQ2 producer (0xFF, enabling the modifier for all channels), and in the latter case the register can be directly written in the EUDAQ config.

We have a testbeam/testbench setup (AlVin readout system for ATLAS HGTD/ALTIROC) which we are currently migrating to Constellation, but which relies on being able to raise a DUT busy via the DUTclk signal, and hence needs the DUTMaskModeModifier set for some but not all DUTs. As a result, we need to be able to set this register in the Constellation satellite configuration.

This PR adds the desired functionality as a fourth possible "mode" for a DUT channel - "eudet_with_busy", which enables the DUTMaskModeModifier for the given channel by setting the requisite bit (2 ** channel). Since this mode only affects the EUDET mode (according to the manual), I believe it is not necessarily to allow this bit to be modifiable for channels that are not in EUDET mode, hence the decision to add it as an extra mode.

Thanks for your time, wishing you a nice start to the week!
