 Description   

For display, archiving, and "shepherding" purposes, it would be useful for the PFS side of ics_gen2Actor to specify which frames we request for a given PFS visit. For instance, only the 1st visit at a given field is likely to require MCS PFSC frames – we should not request them otherwise.

The proposed mechanism is to call SIMCAM.reqframes or ocs.getFrames, or a wrapper around them, with a set or dictionary specifying the details. TBD from negotiation with Eric.

After discussions with Subaru, the API to gen2 is considerably simpler: there is a single .getFrames() call which updates all four sequences, and allocates frames 100 at a time.

The OCS server now knows about PFS allocations, and allocates all in one call.
