rename Object to Description

[emiltin]

Currently RSMP object have ObjectType (e.g ”Detector logic”), Object (e.g. ”A120-1”) and component-id (e.g. A+48281=482DL001).

Only the component id is used to reference objects in messages.

It seems to me Object is not an id, but rather a description of the object. Therefore i suggest we rename this to Description, and don't have any requirement about uniqueness. It would be good to be able to fetch the list of component from a device, and this should include the description.

It also implies that list of components should always use the component id as key, not the Object/Description.

In the SXL, each ObjectType defines a list the alarms, command and statuses. The Objects are then mapped to a specific ObjectType. I suppose we could rename Object to description, but I think it would make this relationship slightly less obvious.

Another option is to rename ObjectType => ComponentType and Object => Component
