Abandoned terminals

## Abandoned Terminals The abandoned (inactive) terminals functionality is developed for Kaufland (https://jira.extendaretail.com/browse/KMA-1497) to find the abandoned terminals.

When a customer performs a shopping trip and he doesn't scan the EoT, but drops the terminal (for instance) in between the groceries then terminal will register itself as inactive (after the configured time). At that moment the terminal appears in the Attendant (in the Inactive terminals tab). The terminal will become inactive after 30 minutes of inactivity. When an item is scanned or the terminal is returned in the cradle the terminal will become active again and it disappears from the Attendant.

3 parameters were added (see below).
