Add the ability to use an event's severity to generate a notification

Description

Currently, when an event triggers a notification by matching the UEI of the event to the UEI in the
notification, a filter is run to determine a list of nodes, interfaces and IP addresses that match the filter
rule to determine if the event will actually generate a notification.

The filter works solely on the database. There is no mechanism to further filter on the event. It would
be nice to be able to filter on some aspects of the event itself, such as severity.

and severity. Bug 1380. Thx Tilman.

Have been using this patch to 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 for more than a
week in production (269 nodes, 1905 interfaces, 2100 services)
without a problem

adds the ability to use an event's severity to generate a notification

This patch includes also patch #1380 (sorry, I had no idea how to separate
them)

together with #1380, the following is possible:

<notification name="Trap received" status="on">
<uei>~.traps.</uei>
<description>A Trap was received</description>
<rule>IPADDR IPLIKE ...</rule>
<event-severity>warning|minor|major|critical</event-severity>
<destinationPath>Email-Admin</destinationPath>
<text-message>%severity% Trap on node: %nodelabel%, interface:%interface%.
UEI: %uei% Parameter %parm[all]%</text-message>
<subject>Notice #%noticeid%: %severity% Trap received on
%nodelabel%.</subject>
</notification>

This notication gets sent on every trap with severity warning or higher.
