Fix interval calculation bug and D-Bus init

The new timing parameters were not settable from the D-Bus code path,
only from the old static JSON code path. Also, the divison would not
occur, causing the variable to remain at 1000 by default, not 10,
causing the thermal intervals to run 100 times slower than intended!

I fixed the algorithm used to calculate when the thermal intervals
should be inserted amongst the fan intervals. Now, the division is
not necessary, and any value should work, so long as the thermal
interval is greater than or equal to the fan interval.

I also fixed a subtle bug regarding the timer scheduling. It was
reinitializing the timer expiration time from "now" each interval,
instead of cleanly incrementing from the original expiration. This
caused the timer to run slower than intended, as the execution time
of each interval would not be subtracted out from the remaining time
that needs to be waited for, as it should have been.

Tested: Default values, for timing parameters, now work as intended

Support derivative term in PID algorithm and support to set cycle interval time from fan table

1. Support to calculate derivative term in PID algorithm.
2. Add two properties: cycleIntervalTimeMS and updateThermalsTimeMS
in fan table that could be used to decide "time interval of PID control loop"
and "time interval to update thermals' cached value".

Tested:

- PID algorithm:
1. Check pid-control-service could calculate output PWM
according to the fan table.

Bug fix: pidControlLoop may loop infinitely.

boost::basic_waitable_timer::cancel is a non-blocking function and only
sends cancellation to the pending operations. For other operations:
```
If the timer has already expired when cancel() is called, then the
handlers for asynchronous wait operations will:
* have already been invoked; or
* have been queued for invocation in the near future.
These handlers can no longer be cancelled, and therefore are passed an
error code that indicates the successful completion of the wait
operation.
```

In our case, if pidControlLoop() has been invoked or in the invoke
queue while the timer cancellation, it will ignore the cancal ec and
infinitely call the pidControlLoop() chain.

Thus an extra cancel variable is introduced to break the chain.

Eliminate swampd core dump after D-Bus updates sensors

The swamp daemon intializes a list of sensors and uses those to
periodically scan the state associated devices. Reading the sensors is
done with an async timer, that runs code to re-arm an async timer.

There is also a D-Bus update cycle that is independent of the async
timer reading the sensors. When the D-Bus updates the number of
sensors in the system a new list must be created. In order to create
the new list the timers using the old list must be stopped. Only after
those timers have stopped may a new list be generated, and a new set of
timers started.

The two processes are unware of each other. To safely perform the
change the pointers to the list of zones and timers must be kept alive
until all timer actions complete. Only after all references to the
pointers have been release may the new state be built, and new timers
started.

Prior to this change swampd would throw a SYSSEGV fault due to an
attempt to use a pointer that was no longer active.

Tested:
Issued a "reset -w" (Warm Reset command) from the EFI shell.
Waited for the system to reboot, and enter EFI
Checked for a core file in /var/lib/systemd/coredump
Repeated step 1 if coredump file was not present.
Completed 2900+ passes successfully when ealier code failed at less
than 800 passes.

Make dbusconfiguration reloadable without reboot

Now that asio is being used instead of threads, we can
reload the fan configuration without having to restart the
application. This moves the ownership of the passive and host
bus outside of the SensorManager so that it can be recreated
each reload.

Tested: Watched logs and saw full fan config get reloaded
after changing fan configuration

Tested: Ran on json configured system and it behaved as
expected.
