Include filtered totals in any object totals

If you filter actions in a plan, the total number of actions does not change with the number. It'd be very helpful to see what the total is once filters are applied. Example: run a plan to rightsize a group of vms. your plan actions show "plan act...

In the Merge Cluster Plan the cluster name should be displayed in the actions, output, and exports.

When using the Merge Cluster Plan only the host name is present in the actions, output, and exports. It would be nice if the cluster name were present in the actions, output, and exports for easy readability and understanding of the data.

VVOL volumes are not providing data to Turbonomic. So the data cannot be stitched.
