Child signals named on attach to device

Previously the naming of child signals was inconsistent between those named by passing name in __init__, and those named after the fact using set_name via init_devices or something similar. Now child devices are now named when they are attached to a parent, which means that the super order in __init__ doesn't matter from the perspective of naming. For example:

class Base(Device):
    def __init__(self, name: str = ""):
        self.sig1 = soft_signal_rw(float)
        super().__init__(name=name)
class Derived1(Base):
def init(self, name: str = ""):
self.sig2 = soft_signal_rw(float)
super().init(name=name)
class Derived2(Base):
def init(self, name: str = ""):
super().init(name=name)
self.sig2 = soft_signal_rw(float)

Previously: -If device = Derived1(name="mydevice") then device.sig2.name == "mydevice-sig2" -If device = Derived2(name="mydevice") then device.sig2.name == ""

Now:

• device.sig2.name == "mydevice-sig2" in both cases

The canonical way to rename a signal to something different to {parent.name}-{signal_name} is to override set_name, e.g. in motor:

    def set_name(self, name: str, *, child_name_separator: str | None = None) -> None:
        """Set name of the motor and its children."""
        super().set_name(name, child_name_separator=child_name_separator)
        # Readback should be named the same as its parent in read()
        self.user_readback.set_name(name)

Shared FlyMotorInfo for SimMotor and EpicsMotor

# old
from ophyd_async.sim import FlySimMotorInfo
info = FlySimMotorInfo(cv_start=0, cv_end=1, cv_time=0.2)
# new
from ophyd_async.core import FlyMotorInfo
info = FlyMotorInfo(start_position=0, end_position=1, time_for_move=0.2)

or

# old
from ophyd_async.epics import motor
info = motor.FlyMotorInfo(start_position=0, end_position=1, time_for_move=0.2)
