Allow `EventSource/Door` to be combined with `Device`, `Client` and `Server` #63

Summary With physical access control systems, there are cases where mechanisms like doors, are controlled by a computer systems. In cases where audit is being obtained from such systems, detail about both the system and the mechanism (e.g. door) needs to be reported. Logically, the EventSource is the place for that. The current schema release doesn't permit Device, Client or Server to be combined with Door.

Proposal Make EventSource/Door an optional element and move it into the sequence that currently comprises Device, Client and Server.
