Add SysLocation, SysContact and other string OIDs as Message Variables for alerts

As the title says, adding these standard OIDs as trigger messages would be very useful for alerting and management on the NMS for engineers and owners of the affected device to contact the team or person responsible of it.

    Please add all the sys SNMP fields: sysName, sysDescription, sysLocation, sysObjectId and sysContact 

    We use these fields extensively, so please make them available in alert trigger and clear messages. Also, make them available in DI in the Alert Details widget as well.

    Thanks!
