hwscan3 IMS: TCC processor inventory report

This function build the table of servers. It starts by building the constant parts of the table, including an empty tbody element. For a summary of the XHTML we are building, see Section 3.1, “XHTML for the start page”.

See Section 6.22, “TABLE_ATTRS” for a constant dictionary that defines standard table decorations.

For the logic that locates, sorts, and displays the login servers, see Section 10, “findLoginServers(): Display login server rows”.
