Revert commit "Dirty fix for error '_object_has_no_attribute_'getSlave' in EtherCAT extension"
[a3ac46366b86a0b237dac93be6b2281ac70b98a8].

The problem was that XML elements (proxy object) in some cases were created using custom XML
classes constructors and lxml.etree.Element() call and live python
patching. This causes that lxml backend doesn't know that custom python class
should be used for these XML elements.
Proxy object can be move/deleted and recreated by lxml
backend at any point in time or this can be done in python by copy/deepcopy operations.
If this happens, then newly created
proxy elements are using default class lxml.etree._Element. And all
custom functionality is lost.

All created XML elements should be always created through corresponding
parser and class lookup callback done by lxml backend.
It's described in more details in lxml documentation:
https://lxml.de/element_classes.html

To be executed, C needs to be compiled. `GCC <http://gcc.gnu.org>`_ serve that purpose perfectly.

PLC program is expressed in languages defined in IEC-61131, including graphical languages. Thanks to PLCopen TC2, those graphical languages have a standardised representation, in XML.
