Smart Alarm Pairing

[Ryan-McClanahan]

In EDM there is a practice to place rectangles with alarm boarders behind related display buttons, since the related display buttons cannot have a pv. The space that the related display button takes up is actually less than is indicated by the edm file. So when it gets converted into pydm the alarm rectangle does not show up because it is covered by the related display button. So a user needs to go in and adjust the size of the related display buttons after conversion.

There are a multiple solutions to this. The coolest would be:
In PyDM the related display buttons can have a pv and display it's severity. Match the EDM alarm rectangles with the EDM related display buttons, then in PyDM generate a related display button with the EDM alarm rectangle's pv. And set the alarmBoarders property to true

The smart alarm pairing should be the default functionality. But there should be an option that disables it
