Possibility to configure AF Prefix - PI System connector

For the PI System Connector it is possible to configure a prefix for PI Tags. We also need the possibility to configure a prefix for AF related items like Event Frame Attributes or tables.

    PI System Connector 2.4.1.6 is now available with the option to add a prefix to supported AF objects. Please note that PI System Connector 2.4.1.6 AF prefixes do not apply to Element names.

    The use-case is as follows. we use the System connector to connect local PI Systems to one global PI System. as the local PI Systems already exist, it's hard to harmonize all configuration objects (e.g. Event Frame templates). in case there exist different objects with the same Name (e.g. Event Frame template with Name "Batch"), the different templates influence the one template on the global System with this Name (i think the last connected template will be transfered to the global System). a prefix for AF objects would avoid this behaviour.
