Fixes & Enhancements

1. Made Firmware more robust by not starving SCSI command processing, recovering from I2C bus hangs, and adding temperature data qualification. Therefore, reducing the occurrence of temperature sensors being in the unknown state and preventing the SES communication failure error messages.
2. Fixed the firmware version when updating in split bus mode.
3. Fixed turning off the alarm from the secondary enclosure when in split bus mode.
4. Fixed fault LED when inserting a drive in slot 0.
