enabled flag

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds an "Enabled" flag feature to the Aruba ClearPass AnyCA Gateway plugin and updates the project to support multiple .NET frameworks. The enabled flag allows administrators to disable gateway functionality while keeping the CA configuration intact, primarily for scenarios where the CA needs to be created before all configuration information is available.

• Added an Enabled configuration parameter with default value of true
• Updated project to support both .NET 6.0 and .NET 8.0 frameworks
• Modified gateway operations to check the enabled flag before executing

The catch block swallows exceptions without re-throwing or handling the case where the Enabled key is missing. If the key doesn't exist or has an invalid type, the method will continue execution instead of properly handling the error condition.
