Dynamic rolling periods for Rules within Jobs

Dynamic rolling periods for rules replicates the functionality of rolling periods for integrations. Dynamic periods with rules does require specials syntax in order to enable the rolling period capability.

To support this new rolling periods feature, a new rule parameter type has been introduced. This new type will enable rolling periods on the jobs screen. The new type is: 

type="RollingPeriodBegin"

An example of this syntax added to a new rule is as follows:

<param table="d_Time" label="PeriodStart" variableName="PeriodStart" lookupFieldName="FYPeriod" type="RollingPeriodBegin" />
		<param table="d_Time" label="PeriodEnd" variableName="PeriodEnd" lookupFieldName="FYPeriod" type="RollingPeriodEnd" />

Template calculation performance improvements

We have updated a component which manages the calculations when running reports and input templates within the Portal. User should experience a significant improvement when inputting, pasting and delete data in templates with a large number of complicated Excel formulas.
