Metric values in alarm messages

The "Metric values" section is now available in alarm messages for all notification destinations except for SMS. Metric values are included for both grouped and split notifications.

Use a message's metric values to determine if the resource needs attention now. For example, consider an alarm that triggers at 70% CPU utilization. If the metric value is 95%, then you would probably want to attend to the resource as soon as possible. If the metric value is 71%, then you might decide to ignore it.
