Prepare for DSS C-API 0.10.6, new tests still pending

- Use DSS C-API 0.10.6a2 while testing
- New DSS.Error.ExtendedErrors
- New DSS.LegacyModels
- Several new properties in PDElements (see dss-extensions/dss_capi#81)
- Update validation to include new test files and disable ExtendedErrors (otherwise the behavior cannot be validated since the official OpenDSS will ignore some errors)
- Use extensive error checks, covering most API calls (not only setters), closes #29
