[atlas] auto probe renewal

Hello,

Left unattended, over longer periods of time, measurements lose probes. 
The RIPE Atlas API includes a call that can be used to add or remove 
probes or groups of probes in an existing measurement, see:

https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/apis/rest-api-manual/participation_requests.html#creating-a-participation-change-request

We started working on a feature where you'll be able to ask the system 
itself to remove disconnected probes, and to "top it up" with other 
probes (similar to the original ones. I cannot tell when this will be 
available though.

Regards,
Robert
