CHANGE 1:
Patch to show API for Alarms in Fault Management.
AlarmsWebResource.java & Alarm.java show what the external REST API for alarms would look like.
See more info at https://wiki.onosproject.org/display/ONOS/Fault+Management
Everything else is very early and work-in-progress/mostly just stubbed out, and not ready for review but all advice welcome.

CHANGE 2:
[ONOS-3203] Update re. comments on FM API draft.
Comments were from Thomas Vachuska regarding https://gerrit.onosproject.org/#/c/6180/
Change-Id: If8d330d1b18b503e89849587e2d4388bf67becc0
