[Ovmsdev] OBD poller module shell proposal

Thanks so much for giving this a good run.
I totally missed that about the purpose of PollerStateTicker() damn.

I think I can call this on primary ticks only from PollerSend() itself
outside of the mutex.  That would work - I'll get onto that.
In the original PR# 966 PollerSend() is an OvmsVehicle() member and as such
this is a no-brainer.

That would mean it will get called from the Rx/Poller task rather than the
schedule (ticker1) task which is not necessarily a bad thing... but
different.

I believe that for the Poller implementation though, this will need to be
an event similar to PollRunFinished()  - which kind of has similar usage
but occurs between (effectively) poller ticks (ie when all the
entries in the list have been dealt with) rather than what will be at the
beginning of each Primary tick.
Unless you have an objection - I'll pass in (canbus* bus) to this - similar
to PollRunFinished()
