Need to be able to assign tags to an integration node

Currently, tags can only be assigned to a Host or to some specific sensors such as MQ.  Customers have a need to use tags for filtering, thresholding, etc. using tags for other sensors.  Specifically, this customer needs to be able to use tags on an ACE integration Node as part of their Event definition.

Here is the use case.  They have multiple Integration Nodes.   Some are used for production and some for pre-prod.   They want to Detect and Alert on prod and pre-prod differently.    Specifically, they want to have an Offline Event trigger for an Integration Node, but ONLY for the production Integration Nodes.   Today, they can't do that because the tags apply to the Host and not to the Integration Node.  In addition, they might want different tags for each Integration Node, so they need more granularity than a Host tag.

Ideally, we would have a tagging mechanism for ALL sensors in the configuration.yaml file.
