The achieved goal should be returned by each strategy

Registered by Vincent Mahe

Today, there is no way to know what goal is achieved by a given strategy. The link between goal and strategies is done in the Watcher configuration.

There should be a goal attribute in the base strategy class saying what goal it achieves.

Beyond that, it will enable all strategies that achieve the same goal to derive from a common base class that returns the appropriate goal value.
For example, for the EnergyOptimization goal, there could be 3 different strategies with the same EnergyConsumptionBaseStrategy base class returning the following goal attribute "Decrease Energy Consumption".

It will also enable watcher to return the list of available goals depending on which strategies have been deployed on the node where the Watcher Decision Engine is running.
