#1267 starting testing boards

I put all txt processing in a seperate package
I put vars in a key value list and add the key value list then to the
build environment variables
This is prep work for making a variable provider
Cleaned up lots of redundant code
Moved more "workarounds" to the workaround class so sloeber.txt files
are nearly 100% ready to be simply read and ready
