remove functionality related with changes in the CI-OMS interface specification (in particular regarding the removal of the 'event type' concept); and do adjustments while starting testing with the actual RSN OMS endpoint implementation (eg., use of the xml/rpc handlers they are using).
systematic "monitorCycleSeconds" -> "monitor_cycle_seconds" renaming to use
consistent naming and align with actual RSN OMS implementation. Fix
PlatformAgentInstance x driver_config cell for MJ01C platform in the preloaded
spreadsheet (was referring to wrong ports apparently after a direct copy-n-paste
from the LJ01D case). Make code in resource_monitor more robust upon unexpected
format in received attribute values.
