IPMI SEL Parsing

[rgrs]

Hi Lei,

Thanks, phosphor-sel-logger logs to phosphor-logging after enabling SEL_LOGGER_SEND_TO_LOGGING_SERVICE.

The APIs IpmiSelAdd() adds entry to SELs (tested using busctl)
But, "ipmitool sel list" doesn't print correctly. It prints "Undetermined Hardware Failure" for these entries.

Thanks,
Raj
