Add Time Offset Option to OPC UA Connector

Rearrange the Archive tab in the Point Builder to reflect the relationship between settings

If the Compressing attribute of a PI Point is set to Off, then the compression settings are greyed out, which makes sense because they are irrelevant if Compressing is Off. However, if a PI Point has its Archiving attribute set to Off, nothing is ...
