Increase the size of the Escalation Database to allow for more events to be stored.

The Escalation database has a maximum limit of records it can hold. (2200 events maximum).

One the limit is reached, there is a warning messaged logged indicating the maximum number of events was exceeded.

This message is written at program startup when SAIOM is rotating the evt xml files when the process is executing an archive of the previous evt_* file to the .gz1 backup.

-Events can be cleared from the GUI, however, that means they are cleared and can't be seen. 

-If you need to force SAIOM to backup the current file, that can be done by restarting SAIOM, which should cause the process to push the evt file to the backup.

The Customer needs to be able to manage more events per day without causing the loss of functionality or having to recycle SAIOM each day.
