Create additional fields for interfaces collected by the SevOne Observer for AIOps

1) In the current version of the SevOne Observer, there is no way to associate interface into a resource group. There is no field to identify what device a interface belongs to. A field should be added to the interface record that includes the device name which contains it.

2) The following data fields for interfaces should be gathered by the SevOne Observer for AIOps

Object Alternative Name - this is used by SevOne administrator to set a specify a different name for an interface object

System Description - this data is typically pulled from the device configuration directly, aka Interface Description. Customers use this field to identify use for specific interfaces

User Description - Like alternate name, this allows SevOne administrator to override the System Description of the interface provided by the device.

    The uniqueId of  interfaces is built as deviceId-<device ID>-objectId-<interface ID> and so you can tell what device it relates to, is that sufficient? (id should be less ambiguous than name)

    In general, adding extra properties to be more informative is useful but I would urge caution if aiming to group by interface as there may be better choices.
