Enhance OPC Metrics Handling and Refactor Write Operations

- Updated the OPC class to return response times for write operations, improving metrics tracking.
- Refactored the Gates activity to incorporate OPC metrics into the metrics writing process.
- Adjusted the manage_output_tags method in OpcRepository to return response times for each tag written.
- Modified tests to validate the new metrics structure and ensure correct behavior of the updated methods.
