Support automatic ingestion of VOLTTRON data

[timothykang]

End goal:

• OpenEIS VOLTTRON historian agent pushes data to OpenEIS instance as specified in agent's configuration
• All pushed data is in a single OpenEIS dataset (that can grow over time) and available for analysis

One way to achieve this might be to have a special dataset type that provides an endpoint to which external clients (i.e. the historian) can POST timestamp +topic + value.

TBD:

• Will the data set require a sensor map?
  • If so, what if a new sensor is pushed from VOLTTRON?
  • If not, where will sensor metadata (e.g. units) come from?

For OpenEIS apps to run, we need to be able to map the sensor data to the common OpenEIS schema. This can be accomplished via a data map. Sensor units should come from the metadata associated with the driver on the VOLTTRON instance. You may want to check out the csv files used to configure the driver.
