[UI, enhacement] Cannot add discovered units to "Machines" (only to "Devices")

[NITSCH Zoltán]

It is impossible to add an item from the list of discovered machines to the "Machines" section in the GUI. You can only add them to the "Devices" section, that is far less useful, one almost never uses it, but adding to the Machines is really important and always used a lot.

How to recreate:
-----------------
While trying to add a discovered item, click it in the Dashboard and you will only see a button called: "Save and go the the device listing". Also in the Type field's dropdown menu you cannot select Machine but only Device and Interface.
(Interface also does not seem to work, since the Device name field will be then mandatory but its drop down list is empty)

I talked to one of the developer on IRC and he mentioned it was planned but was forgotten to be implemented and I should open a bug.

PS: logs not needed here.

Thanks.
