Adding filter alarm setting method

As of RCG 2.7, every filter has SWMASK, SWREQ, and SWSTAT channels which can be
used to for alarming on whether a filter is in the requested state. The
attached patches add methods to the LIGOFilter class for setting the SWMASK and
SWREQ channels. Note that the patch for the Ezca class adds the ability to
write to ENUM type channels, which is necessary for changing the alarm level on
the SWSTAT.HSV channel.
These methods are particularly useful for building graphics on MEDM screens
since the SWSTAT alarm makes it very easy for an MEDM rectangle to determine
whether a filter is in the correct state or not. For example, the SEI system
uses colored MEDM rectangles to indicate the status of of the isolation and
damping filters.
