New ISC_library decorator for IMC locklosses at 10W

RyanC, TJ

I wrote a new decorator in ISC_library (@ISC_library.bring_unlocked_imc_2w_decorator(nodes)) for the specific scenario of the IMC losing lock while we're at 10Ws which would give it trouble relocking - alog82436. The decorator looks for the IMC being unlocked with a power above 2Ws and if the rotation stage is stationary it requests the LASER_PWR GRD to 2Ws.

We sprinkled the decorator into ALIGN_IFO,  INIT_ALIGN, into the MICH, SRC and AS_CENTERING states, I also added it to CHECK_MICH_FRINGES and MICH_OFFLOADED in ISC_LOCK.  We successfully tested it today during an initial alignment by breaking the IMC lock during these states.
