Added a decorator to H1_MANAGER that will kill the lock if IMC_REFL gets too high

On the night of Sept 10 the IMC REFL power slowly increased all night. To avoid this happening in the future, we decided to have H1_MANAGER check this and kill the lock before calling someone. This is the first instance in guardian, that I'm aware of, that we intentially kill the lock.

This takes place in the form of a decorator in the Low_Noise state of H1_MANAGER. The threshold is currently set to 35, and if it goes above then the node will kill the lock and move ISC_LOCK to IDLE before going to ASSISTANCE_REQUIRED itself.

We tested it while not in low noise with an offset in IMC_REFL and the decorator moved to the Relocking state of H1_MANAGER.
