Moving from V2.# to V4.# of XC32

We found we needed the following changes moving from V2.# to V4.# of the XC32 compiler:

Plib is no longer maintained or distributed with current versions of compiler.
Microchip expects you to use Harmony to configure and generate code for the purpose.

Remove: #include <piclib.h>
Replace with: #include <xc.h>

Remove: our own typedef unsigned char uint8_t; etc definitions (now done as standard within xc32 library files)

Errors like: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘SYSTEMConfigPerformance’
are caused because these functions are gone, Microchip expects you to use MCC/Harmony to configure and generate the code now.
