Register Map configuration files (SLR config files)

(SLR stands for: "SuperLogic Region", which represent a "half" physical card a.k.a. logical unit.)

The location of configuration files for elinks and emulators can be found here: https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/uUi31McesqajCR6

1. RM5 configs, ONLY compatible with firmware 2:
   1. rm5-emu-5links-slr1 - Enables on SLR 5 x FM links and uploads 464B, 1Idle, Incremental pattern emulation. (Fanout selector unlocked, toggle possible between real and EMU data.)
   2. rm5-emu-5links-slr2 - Enables on SLR 5 x FM links and uploads 464B, 1Idle, Incremental pattern emulation. (Fanout selector unlocked, toggle possible between real and EMU data.)
