Move objectmanager into the PDI-specified location

PDI specifies that the ObjectManager for sensors should be hosted at the
sensor root.  This commit makes that a reality.

Tested:
Could use some help here.  I don't use phosphor-virtual-sensors, but
other similar changes made to other daemons have been tested, along with
the other patches in this topic.

phosphor-virtual-sensor

phosphor-virtual-sensor reads in virtual_sensor_config.json There are two types of data in this file:

virtual sensor configuration information

See virtual_sensor_config.json in this repository for an example. Sensors added this way can use any expression that is accepted by exprtk.

information to get a virtual sensor configuraton from D-Bus

For example:

{
  "Desc": {
    "Config": "D-Bus",
    "Type": "ModifiedMedian"
  }
}

Sensors added this way can only use a set of restricted calculations. At this stage the only type supported is modifiedMedian.

The virtual sensor configuration information needs to be added into the relevant hardware configuration file in entity-manager. This method of adding a virtual sensor allows a recipe that builds for different hardware configurations to have different virtual sensors for each configuration.

The virtual sensor configuration in entity manager follows a different format to the JSON in virtual_sensor_config.json (specified in entity-manager/schemas/VirtualSensor.json).
