Detailed Description

Allows analyzers to be grouped together, or used as sub-analyzers.

The AnalyzerGroup is used by the diagnostic aggregator internally to load and handle analyzers. It can be used as a normal analyzer plugin to allow analyzers to become "sub-analyzers", or move as a group.

The "sub-analyzers" are initialized using parameters in the "~analyzers" namespace of the AnalyzerGroup. The "type" parameters determines the analyzer type.

Example initialization:

 *  sensors:
 *  type: AnalyzerGroup
 *  path: Sensors
 *  analyzers:
 *    base_hk:
 *      type: GenericAnalyzer
 *      path: Base Hokuyo
 *      timeout: 5.0
 *      find_and_remove_prefix: base_hokuyo_node
 *      num_items: 3
 *    tilt_hk:
 *      type: GenericAnalyzer
 *      path: Tilt Hokuyo
 *      timeout: 5.0
 *      find_and_remove_prefix: tilt_hokuyo_node
 *      num_items: 3
 *    imu:
 *      type: GenericAnalyzer
 *      path: IMU
 *      timeout: 5.0
 *      find_and_remove_prefix: imu_node
 *      num_items: 3
 *

Each namespace below "analyzers" describes a new Analyzer that will be loaded as a sub-analyzer. Any analyzer that fails to initialize or loads incorrectly will generate an error in the console output, and a special diagnostic item in the output of the AnalyzerGroup that describes the error.

In the above example, the AnalyzerGroup will have three sub-analyzers. The AnalyzerGroup will report a DiagnosticStatus message in the processed output with the name "Sensors" (the top-level state). The "Sensors" message will have the level of the highest of the sub-analyzers, or the highest of "Sensors/Base Hokuyo", "Sensors/Tilt Hokuyo" and "Sensors/IMU". The state of any other items, like "Sensors/IMU/Connection" won't matter to the AnalyzerGroup.

The Aggregator uses the AnalyzerGroup internally to load and update analyzers.
