uniforming the payloads of the responses #6

When using an instrument connected to the prologix, the return value of a get is located in a values payload field, instead of value_raw which then messes with the standard calibration method. Then the value can not be calibrate properly... This problem also appear when using the kv_store_key tutorial class. There might be a couple of places where we would have to change these in order to have a homogeneous response.

I'm confused by this. When communicating with balvenie, I get calibrated values back:

pettus@claude:~$ dragonfly get cell_heater_current_output -b myrna.p8 cell_heater_current_output(ret:0): [balvenie]-> {u'value_cal': 1.798747, u'value_raw': u'+1.79874700E+00'}

Similarly the lockin gives back calibrated responses.
