Disable engine debug prints of variable names behind debug symbol

[Karl-G1]

• [x] This contribution adheres to CONTRIBUTING.md.

What does this Pull Request accomplish?

• Replace deprecated local and vi.lib Print Debug String VIs with Print Debug Line
• Delete local copy of Print Debug String and other unused VIs
• Disable almost all engine debug prints of variable names behind debug symbol (Debugging == True)
• Clean up formatting of debug print in Custom Device Source/Engine/Initialize/Start Scan Engine.vi

Why should this Pull Request be merged?

Currently, deploying the engine with EtherCAT I/O variables results in a ton of debug lines in the VeriStand log file. This is helpful for when things go wrong, but it adds a lot of clutter for working deployments. Some debug prints were already using this symbol, so I found all the other instances and made the same modification.

What testing has been done?

Tested with VS 2019 R3 and a third-party ECAT slave:
