Pull request overview

This pull request refactors the naming conventions for device-signal pairs throughout the bec_widgets codebase, changing from device_name/entry (or variants like x_device_name/x_device_entry) to device/signal (or device_x/signal_x, device_y/signal_y, etc.). This unifies the nomenclature according to the agreement in issue #1036. Additionally, "next_gen" suffixes are removed from test file names.

Changes:

• Renamed all device-signal pair parameters and properties from *_name/*_entry to device_*/signal_* pattern
• Updated model field names in DeviceSignal, ScatterDeviceSignal, HeatmapDeviceSignal, and MotorConfig
• Updated UI files (.ui) to reflect new widget naming
• Updated all tests, documentation, and RPC client stubs to match new naming
• Removed "next_gen" from test file names
