Dirk Zimoch has proposed merging ~dirk.zimoch/epics-base:fix_one_element_input_link_arrays into epics-base:7.0.

Commit message:
Allow numeric 1 element arrays in constant input links.
Fixes bug #1882520.

Requested reviews:
  EPICS Core Developers (epics-core)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~dirk.zimoch/epics-base/+git/epics-base/+merge/385269

Links like
  field (INP, [42])
or
  field (INP, [])
did not work, while
  field (INP, [42,7])
or even
  field (INP, [42,])
were fine.

Instead, they were interpreted as CA links, searching for a record with the name "[42]" or "[]", respectively

Now they work as expected.
