Fixes for zero-lag counting in online workflow

Patrick Godwin requested to merge fix-online_zerolag_counts into master

This merge request fixes a couple of issues with the online analysis associated with zero-lag counts:

  • Make group IDs unique for trigger counter and metric collection jobs, otherwise the jobs fight for the same consumer group which sometimes has the effect of the trigger counter not collecting triggers.
  • Increase timeout to grab triggers in trigger counter
  • Decrease number of zero-lag counts needed for FAR estimation in inspiral jobs. Since the trigger counter avoids double counting triggers, this also has the unintended effect of the rate of triggers being collected in the background to be much lower. Lowering this by a factor of 10 is a conservative estimate and has the effect of lowering the time to generate FARs from ~1-2 weeks to ~1 day.
