Reference data improvements

• Moved loading the Library categories to Reference Data, and adjusted the Settings accordingly. (PP-638)
• Improved loading form templates by detecting duplicates.
• No longer tries to load the country list in the About view after erasing all content, to avoid repeated log on attempts if the username or password is wrong. (EGO30096)
• Improved the way External Provider addresses are updated, using the modern saving technique, to improve performance.

(EGO43116)

Major syncing performance improvements including automatic incremental updates

• Syncing now uses the "MobileWebServiceV3" web services.
• Now uses incremental loading of data, so instead of deleting and reloading all data, existing data remains and only changes are loaded, resulting in a much faster sync. (EGO43113)
• Syncing can now occur automatically, both when using the app during idle moments, and in the background. (EGO43118)
• The frequency of the automatic updates can be set in the Settings; by default, it uses the frequencies specified in the OnTheGo preferences.
• When data is deleted on the server, any existing copy in the app now remains, but is flagged as deleted. (EGO43114)
• Now only immediately loads patients for Appointments and Tasks that are due around the current date; others can be loaded as needed.

• Now supports the iOS 7 Dynamic Type feature, so you can use smaller or larger text (see Text Size in the General device settings).
• Added a 3D button to the maps on iOS 7, to toggle between 2D and 3D views of the maps.
• The sync status bar now displays the relative time since the last sync, instead of the absolute time, like in iOS 7 Mail.

• Replaced the various sync options with just Sync, to bring appointments, tasks, and patients related to those up-to-date.
• Put all of the sync settings on a Sync page, and put the diagnositc logging option on an Advanced page of the Settings. More logical to keep the settings together.
• Added a Force Sync All button to the Sync Settings, to incrementally sync reference data, appointments, tasks, and all loaded patients.

• Fixed editing an Additional Address that was saved as a draft. (KON43087)

• Now requires IHServer 7.9.2.123 or later.

• The patients automatic sync schedule is adjusted when doing the appointments/tasks/incomplete automatic sync and a manual sync. (PlunketFB001)
• Removed the settings to override the automatic sync schedule. They need to be configured in P4W now. (PlunketFB001)

• Renamed the remove and sync buttons in the Appointments view's Edit mode, to clarify their function. (ALN43165)
• Now doesn't auto-sync the Appointments, Tasks & Incomplete patients soon after an Erase All Content and Settings. Note that this function shouldn't be needed often; normally you should use Erase Content instead. (ALN43152)
• Fixed issues with updating the preference for age in weeks. (ALN43142)
• Fixed incorrect display of errors within popovers.

• The Appointments list now displays the patient's name directly from the patient, if loaded, so changing the patient name will be updated without syncing the appointments. (ALN43165)

• Fixed a rare issue where syncing could get stuck while loading a patient with missing templates.

• Now checks for duplicate patient information due to a loading error.
• If there are only root-level form contents, the form name is displayed in the Form editor sidebar, instead of an empty list.

• If the server doesn't respond to a request within the timeout interval, the request is now automatically resent up to three times.

• Added Advanced Settings options to adjust the connection and request timeout intervals. The former defaults to 20 seconds, the latter defaults to 30 seconds (reduced from 5 minutes; let me know if this results in more timeout errors).
• Changed the sync process to clear the background request queue after the sync is finished, to ensure no stale data is left behind, since it could cause errors in a subsequent sync, e.g. after deleting patients.
• Added more diagnostic logging around syncing patients.
• Tired of manually selecting all patients to remove them? I sure was. So the Patients list now has Select None abd Select All buttons in Edit mode. You're welcome.
• Now updates the patient name in the Sync Activity view once it is known.

• Changed the default timeout interval for GetMethodsDataJSON from 30 seconds to 2 seconds, since the request timeout is now 30 seconds, and to make it more responsive.
• Automatic request retries are not shown in the Errors list until after the last retry fails (if it does). Advanced users can still see retries in the Sync Activity popover and Console log.
