Methane Kit v0.5 Pre-Release Update 2

Common libraries:
- Primitives library extended with error handling (closed #74):
- Methane/Exceptions.hpp was added with common exception type defintions
- Methane/Checks.hpp was added with error checking macro definitions aka META_CHECK*
- META_LOG macros has been updated to make string formatting using FMT library inside of the macro using variadic arguments
All modules updated with static code analysis issue fixes (closed #73):
- Uppercase literal suffixes
- Replaced all explicit exception throws and asserts with META_CHECK* macroses throwing specific exception types, which simplified error checking code and fixed many issues related to non-specific exception throws across Methane code base
- Throw undefined enum value exception in default branches of all switch blocks to fix repeated analysis issue
- Replaced std::function usage with template arguments wherever possible to improve performance
- Many other issues have been fixed thanks to static code analysis
- Used fmt::format(...) for string formatting wherever possible project wide
Platform libraries
- Platform App library was updated with unified error handling logic in AppBase class, moved from platform specific classes
Data libraries
- Data Primitives library
- Point template class has been refactored to merge 2D and 3D implementations together and incapsulate cml::vector instead of deriving from it to fix multiple static analysis issues.
