remove exception logs and document compliance level

[hb020]

Started as a Very easy one. We might need to remove other exception logs, or lower them to debug.

Added loads of attributes, plus documentation of compliance.

• Closes Lower verbosity on unknown attribute #644
• Executed pre-commit with no errors
• The change is fully covered by automated unit tests
• Documented in docs/ as appropriate. see below
• Added an entry to the CHANGES file

Still not great it throws a VisaIOError instead of AttributeError, but that is inside PyVISA, not here.

[hb020]

big update, addressing missing attributes. For now:

• read coverage is better (but not full)
• write coverage has been improved slightly

Is this ready for review ?

[hb020]

at least a first review, yes

[MatthieuDartiailh]

I did not review the docs but the code part looks very neat. Much more consistent than before.

[hb020]

The documentation should be good now.

And found a small bug in hislip event handling, and repaired a small type error.

There are some issues that are not documented and do merit a second pair of eyes, especially since I cannot reliably test them in my lab: #638 (comment)

Good to go for me, unless you want to address any of the mentioned issues (be it in compliance.rst or the comment referred just above)

[MatthieuDartiailh]

I will try to review during the week and merge.

[hb020]

fyi, berg's tool says this:
out.txt

Still a nice number of bugs remaining.....

[MatthieuDartiailh]

Indeed...

[hb020]

FYI: so that we don't set our requirement level too high: berg's script is pretty harsh. It hangs both my 34465A and DMM6500, via the NI-VISA backend.

In the meantime, I've worked on some more things. See #638

Tell me if is OK to include in this PR.
