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.

Fixes bug in create_data_process

To support backwards compatibility we supported the bindings of older
transforms. The newer transforms just use the stream ids that way there
doesn't have to be an explicit mapping from a named attribute to a
stream's publisher.  There is a bug where the effort of making the
stream publisher is duplicated, this patch makes the actions exclusive
to one-another.
