Significant new features

1. Conditionals can now act on more than one component with the same rule.
2. Conditionals can now make components required/optional and set component values, in addition to hiding/showing them.
3. Tokens may now be used to set the file component upload directory, as well as create a pattern to rename each uploaded file.
4. Grid components support a right-side header to create semantic-differential survey questions.
5. Result analysis can now be customized with views, including creating exposed filters.
6. Email addresses now support long-format names, such as "Dan Chadwick" <dan@example.com>.
7. The confirmation message may now be shown within the webform block, if desired.
8. In addition to the first-saved timestamp, webform now tracks the first completed (not draft) and last modified timestamp.
9. Submissions may be downloaded by date range, both via the user interface and drush.
10. Numeric submission data may now be properly formatted, filtered, and sorted with views.
11. The day/month/year may be made optional in date components.
12. Time components may have a start and end time, including "over midnight" ranges, such as 10pm-3am.
13. Date and time components only show options that fall within the start and end date/times.
14. Anonymous users may submit Webforms confidentially, without their IP address being recorded.
15. Multi-page drafts are now resumed where the user left off, rather than on page 1.
16. The html5 required attribute is used on required components, providing in-browser validation.
