Fault report system

A new fault reporting and data base system has become operational as of the 1st of April. The main aim of the system is to allow a better way of keeping track of problems and their solution by relying less on person-to-person communication and individual memories. This should be more efficient as there is less need to talk to the `right' person, while this might also avoid time loss when a problems recurs. The system also provides a simple way to do more detailed statistics of the fault report, which will make reporting easier and more complete, with the potential of giving us a better inside in what is required to let the telescope operate in an optimal way.
