- Data is correctly parsed from DCDBPusher, sent as JSON, and received
by collectagents
- Integration in libdcdb is still pending

- Make clean might be required

Pusher: Caliper plugin preparations: introduce sensor mutex to allow for runtime addition of sensors

- New method is lock-based and compatible with all features (e.g. REST API)
in the framework
- Performance impact is expected to be negligible as race conditions will
not be frequent

- Template for Job Analyzers, derived from AnalyzerInterface

- Changes mostly affect the REST API

- 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

- 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)

- Checks on MQTT topics have been made generic in the MQTTChecker singleton
class under "common"
- MQTT topic checks are now performed also when plugins are reloaded; if
the checks fail, the plugin is cleared and left uninitialized
- All sensors in a plugin not satisfying the checks are logged now, not
only the first one
- Fixed a minor bug that resulted in msgrates of 0 under certain
compilers, due to type promotion in C++
