Add a PI Collective member info PI WebAPI controller

As an end-user, I want to be able to see to which PI Collective member I am connecting to. I also want to be able to toggle programmatically from one PI Collective member to the other so I can make sure the informaiton I am seeing is aligned and in synch accross all PI Collective members without going into thick PI clients or through log files.

    What are the advantages? [from Frank Garriel] It appears that primary and secondary collective members may be out of sync. Not sure why, but some of *our* customers state this as an operational issue. Being able to see which member one is actually connected to will help mitigate this issue. BTW, We are using the PIServer->Collective->CurrentMember in the AFSDK, but that won't work for PI Web API users.

    One more suggestion: In the PI OLEDB provider, this information is surfaces via the PICONNECTION virtual table. Maybe this could be used as a structural idea for how to add this to the Web API. I.e. add "PIConnection" or "ConnectionInfo" to PI Web API's DataServer > Get screen.
