Shelve an alarm condition

Shelving an alarm condition prevents the notification of new state changes to the condition. Shelve an alarm condition from the Alarm Manager table. Shelving an alarm condition shelves only that condition. The alarm condition remains shelved until the shelve duration from the controller expires automatically or when unshelving the alarm condition manually.
