- QueryEngine integration done (but not functional yet, debugging required)
- Changed behavior on exceptional conditions: if SensorNavigator or
AnalyticsManager initialization fails, termination follows
- Now the QueryEngine can also access output sensors of other Analyzers
- Minor bugfixes

- First step for integration of the analytics framework in the collectagent
- QueryEngine and REST API integration still missing
- Proper testing still to be done
- Added a probe function: the global config file is scanned before
initialization, and if no data analytics plugins are requested, no
sensor navigator is built

- A nicer and refactored version of the "average" plugin
- Allows to perform arbitrary aggregation operations over sensors, like
sum, average, or maximum

- Auto-publish is now case insensitive with respect to the <sensor> and
<group> patterns
- If an invalid pattern was specified (missing <sensor> clause) the
configuration is aborted
- Checks for the uniqueness of sensor and group names have been
temporarily dropped as they interfere with templates and entities
(until we find a good solution for MQTT topics)

(cherry picked from commit 05d04857)

- Added some more indentation to make the configurations more readable
- Fixed one more warning in dcdbquery

- Boolean configuration options now all accept "true" and "on" keywords
- Cache interval and thread count parameters removed from the command-line
interface for consistency; these can still be set in the config files
like all other parameters
- global.conf file renamed to dcdbpusher.conf for consistency
