[Nut-upsdev] nutdrv_qx interface change proposal item_t::preprocess

Hi,
I would like to propose an interface change/extension, in order to be
able to clearly differ from a PRE_SEND and a POST_RECEIVE
item_t->preprocess-ing calls.

IMHO there is no option to differ from item->preprocess(..), called from
[1] and called from [2], at the moment. My idea is to extend the
item_t->preprocess(..) with an additional argument about the calling
point of the method like this [3].

The changes in the main nutdrv_qx module would be small [4], but every
calling point would have to be extended by the additional argument.
Pleas let me know what you'r thinking.

Best, Nick
