Paul Elder Nov. 29, 2024, 9:19 a.m. UTC 
In preparation for adding support for querying direction information
from controls, parse the direction information from control ID
definitions. This can later be plugged in directly to the IPA code
generators simply by using ctrl.direction.

Changes in v3:
- minor reordering

Changes in v2:
- prevent errors in parsing properties, since the direction field is now
  required yet properties can only be out
  - do this by expanding the Control constructor to take the mode
    argument, so that needs to be passed in by the users of Control

Does this work ? Are these the flags that are only introduced in the
next patch ?

As the template is only modified in the next patch, this patch alone
shouldn't cause any difference in the generated code.
