A lot of device issues are caused by incorrect responses to certain queries. This PR attempts to solve this issue by declaratively overriding what a CC API call returns and which values need to be stored in the value DB. It is set up this way, because device interviews internally use the CC API methods.
By hooking into this process, we simply skip the original API call and simulate the result.
This allows us to avoid interview-specific implementations and provides a framework to solve this issue for most problematic devices.
