crowd 7.x-2.1

This is primarily a maintenance release for the 7.x-2.x branch, though some minor feature improvements have been included.

This version also includes a couple API enhancements that may not be 100% backwards-compatible in very edge-case scenarios. If you are using the API for custom needs please consult the relevant change records to confirm. These API enhancements have been put in place largely to support two new sandbox projects that integrate very tightly with this module and fill some feature gaps that many users may be interested in:

• Crowd Push & Provisioning - Provides push and provisioning sync capabilities to send user data updated in Drupal to Crowd (allowing Drupal to handle user creations, updates, password resets, etc.).
• Crowd Batch & Auto Pull - Provides batch and automatic pull syncing of user data from a Crowd directory to Drupal (allowing Drupal user lists to be in-sync with Crowd for administrative purposes).
