Aggregated Column Values: Support remote event receivers for change notification

Previously skybow's notification service relied only on SharePoint WebHooks for changes to lists that needed recalculations of aggregated values. Sadly in the current state these notifications are sometimes received with around 2 minutes delay which greatly impacts the user experience. Microsoft has informed it plans to reduce these delays to a few seconds, but without a  clear release date. To reduce the delay for aggregated fields to be recalculated, we introduced a complementary mechanism using Remote Event Receivers on SharePoint. To activate this option, select the link "Reduce recalculation delay…" below the configuration of any column's calculated value and follow the instructions to trust skybow's app to use Remote Event Receivers. After activating using this link once on a site, it is not shown anymore in future.

Insert elements: User can insert LVS web part onto forms, views or pages from toolbox

List View Search web part can not be inserted on any page directly in Solution Studio using the "Insert Component" tab of the right-hand toolbox.

If multiple list views exist on the page the user is prompted to select which one to use by the inserted List View Search. The new List View Search web part is placed above the list view either in the same web part zone or inside the Rich Forms content if the list view is contained there.

Dossier generation: When reusing a form already customized existing web parts are utilized

When a list that has forms customized previously is used as main list on generating a new dossier, solution studio will try to reuse and extend any existing web parts (Action Links, Rich Forms, List View Search) avoiding too many duplicate web parts. This also ensures that previously used web parts are not unexpectedly deleted.

Create new Menu for Packaging and Publishing

In solution studio's header menu when on a solution, we have introduced the "Build", "Package" and "Publish" menu tabs.

"Build" is the area where a solution can be modified and allows managing all Solution Elements as currently already available. The "Package" area will provide a place for packaging, versioning and sharing the solution. In the "Publish" area we will provide features to launch and manage the deployment of the solution to own sites or customer's sites.
