Granular Persistent Datastore (PDS) parameter

In the PARMGEN configuration the settings for the number of Persistent Datastore (PDS) is RTE_PDS_FILE_COUNT (This parameter contains the number of historical data sets in the group. Default value is six. The permissible value is from 3 - 36).

This setting is currently shared among all the products. Thus you cannot have two different products with a different number of PDS datasets. This is a regression from the ICAT configuration.

This request is to change RTE_PDS_FILE_COUNT to something like KXX_ PDS_FILE_COUNT (where XX is the product identifier).
