New Feature: Added Link Monitoring [develop]

[bdorney]

Description

Addresses issue #66.

Types of changes

• [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

Motivation and Context

Provides link monitoring. Is needed for connectivity testing proposal, see steps 2 & 5.

How Has This Been Tested?

 testConnectivity.py -m 5 --shelf=2 -s5 --skipDACScan --skipScurve -o 0x1 -d --nPhaseScans=50 -o 0x1
Open pickled address table if available  /opt/cmsgemos/etc/maps/amc_address_table_top.pickle...
Initializing AMC gem-shelf02-amc05
