a4bf2d1625 Support for overriding dish IP and port
Probably not terribly useful unless someone needs to tunnel through a different network to get to their dish, but it makes testing the dish unreachable case a lot easier. This was complicated a bit by the fact that a channel (and therefor the dish IP and port) is needed to get the list of alert types via reflection due to prior changes.

This exposed some issues with the error message for dish unreachable, so fixed those.

188733e4fb Fix "usage" mode for InfluxDB
I forgot this script knows about the category labels.

68c1413dbd Keep grpc channel open across RPC calls
This restores the functionality that the InfluxDB status polling script had whereby instead of using a new grpc Channel for each RPC call, it would keep one open and reuse it, retrying one time if it ever fails, which can happen if the connection is lost between calls. Now all the grpc scripts have this functionality.

Also, hedge a little bit in the descriptions for what the obstruction detail fields means, given that I'm not sure my assumptions there are correct.

45b563f91a Refactor to reduce the amount of duplicate code
Combined the history and status scripts for each data backend and moved some of the shared code into a separate module. Since the existing script names were not appropriate for the new combined versions, the main entry point scripts now have new names, which better conform with Python module name conventions: dish_grpc_text.py, dish_grpc_mqtt.py, and dish_grpc_influx.py. pylint seems happier with those names, at any rate.

Switched the argument parsing from getopt to argparse, since that better facilitates sharing the common bits. The whole command line interface is now different in that the selection of data groups to process must be made as required arg(s) rather than option flags, but for the most part, the scripts support choosing an arbitrary list of groups and will process them all.

Split the monster main() functions into a more reasonable set of functions.

Added new functions to starlink_grpc to support getting the status, which returns the data in a form similar to the history data functions. Reformatted the starlink_grpc module docstring to render better with pydoc. Also changed the way sequence data field names are reported so that the consuming scripts can name them correctly without resorting to hacky special casing based on specific field names. This would subtly break the old scripts that had been expecting the old naming, but those scripts are now gone.

The code is harder to follow now, IMO, but this should allow adding of new features and/or data backends without having to make the same change in 6 places as had been the case. To that end, dish_grpc_text now supports bulk history mode, since it was trivial to add once I had it implemented in order to support that feature for dish_grpc_influx.
