Value cache performance

The value cache performance has been improved by replacing mutexes with read-write locks in the processing logic. The expected benefit of this change is reduced history syncer usage in heavy parallel workloads.

Diagnostic information

Diagnostic information about preprocessing has been improved to include the oldest values in queue and the totals to include done, queued, processing and pending.

Real-time export

Severity is now exported for trigger events in real-time export.

VMware discovery

The vmware.vm.discovery item, used for virtual machine discovery, now returns an additional field {#VM.FOLDER} with the chain of virtual machine parent folders.
