My first test runs don't show unexpected echos. Therefore I think
unexpected echos are rare and their average will always be 0 even if
some sparse unexpected echos occur.

* Use emper::lib::math::RunningAverage instead of doing it manually
* Count the unexpected Echos, print a error to the log and go continue
* Return a duration and error message pair from our clientIteration* functions
* Print the current iteration on error
* Wait 10 seconds after an error before terminating

Build up output string and don't incrementally output it to stderr
to hopefully prevent error messages interleaving.
Only output the least significant byte of the unsigned int cast.
Always use two digits per byte and remove the whitespace.
Should have used printf in the first place.

Rename the macro used to build up the debug message, to better reflect
its generality.
It can be used anywhere to build a string with C++ stream formatting.
std::string s = EMPER_BUILD_STR("foo = " << 1 " , bar = " << bar(42));

Since WDBG was the only log macro without a terminating newline, which
was in fact broken according to flow, we can remove it and the new line
handling code in the LOG macro.

While we haven't figured out why the version using linked futures breaks
we can use a simpler implementation which calls submitAndWait on both futures
separately

First of all this replaces the call to sleep(execution_seconds)
which calls POSIX sleep(3) which is definitely not what we want here
blocking one worker thread.

Using a std::thread for termination was chosen because we assume it
will be more precise than the emper native emper::sleep.

Specifying execution time and iterations is not allowed.

* Open file only when the benchmark was successful
* Append to existing files without writing the header

Nagle's algorithm which tries to prevent small TCP frames is harmful
for our throughput if we send small echos.

Arithmetic means are inaccurate if the sample has extreme outliers
therefore we record and report the total execution times.

This is useful for my evaluation. Because with an output file I
just have to check if it exists to see if an echoclient execution was
successful.

Use getaddrinfo instead to get the socket information instead of
using always ipv4 sockets.
Pass host and port as strings for use with getaddrinfo.

Start client Fibers in batches to make sure we don't exceed the server's
TCP listen backlog.

The echo client established X connections and start the
echo phase after all sockets are connected.

Each client Fiber measures the time from sending the message until
receiving the echo.

We are unable to switch to C++20 until

This also solves a dependency declaration issue in WorkerSleepExample:
Prior to this change, a clean build could potentially result in

ninja  -C build
ninja: Entering directory `build'

make: *** [Makefile:23: build] Error 1

because worker_sleep_example_exec should have also depend on
emper_version_h. However this is obviously error prone, as users
easily forget to add this dependency. Instead we add
emper::getFullVersion() which is part of the EMPER shared object (not
just of a single header).

In debug builds, the schedule() method is now guarded by an assert(),
as due to this change, the schedule() method will no longer work from
everywhere.

This also improves the worker sleep method.

build your sleezy EMPER version by using for example

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DEMPER_WORKER_SLEEP=ON ..
