For PVXS, field name conformance is only enforced for locally defined types. I've added a test to check that an "in-valid" field name can be decoded, and re-encoded (eg. by a PVA gateway). Some non-conformant names won't be accessible locally though.

I don't have time at present to do this testing for pvDataCPP/AccessCPP, pvDataJava/AccessJava, or Kay's new PVA.
