Push TrueNAS/FreenAS alerts to Alerta

FreeNAS (and TrueNAS) keep track of system alerts and can be configured to send those out via email and a few other services such as Slack and InfluxDB. The selection of these services is pretty limited. Especially limiting is the fact that it does not provide a way to call a custom script or a web service endpoint. But we can capture the alerts from the system and get them out in a roundabout way.
