expose endianness and float representation

The API seems to lack the ability to get the endianness and float format information from e.g. the connect requests. With the stack not executing any data manipulation (which I think is the right design choice), the application layer would need to know these details to properly assess the content. For now I'm working with S7-1500 which appears to always leverage little endian and IEEE float representation but as the protocol supports different options I would want the app to be able to react to different scenarios.

Thanks for this enhancement proposal. I think it would be a great feature.
