Add Julian year and Gregorian year as UOMs

New attribute trait: PI Tag Name

Improvement of AF Identities/Mappings - Make it similar to PI Data Archive

When adding a Mapping to an Identity in the AF Server this will always generate a new mapping linked to a user/group account. If this user/group account it's already mapped to an identity then, by default, it will add 1 to the mapping name. If...
