Feature Request: Expose "severity" an an attribute

Currently there is a severity in the display_desc text. It would be useful to have severity broken out as an attribute, similar to message_type and event_status.

This would be to enable automations to behave differently for Minor vs. Critical or Extreme severity.

In the alert response, severity shows up as one of the properties, see below.

There may be other fields that would be useful in determining how to handle and/or present alerts like certainty, urgency, and response, but I don't know enough yet/have enough experience.

Is there any current significance to the order of alerts?

Right now, the my first alert is Minor severity while the next two are Extreme.

If Severity was exposed as an attribute, I'd be expecting to see Minor - Extreme - Extreme that could be split the same way title, message_type, and event_status.
