Improvements and Bug Fixes

Adding AutoIncrement Field in DFLastId did not work when the table was in use.
Navigator: Deleting a view would only remove the first navigation from a specific view.

cWebCombo required 2 clicks to expand.
WebListExpandPanel swiping did not work when a swipe button was present in the main list.

Updated documentation for menus and toolbars for the current Studio. Numerous options and screenshots were outdated.
Copied the Navigation Designer page from What's New to the Studio book.

Development Guide: JavaScript information on dfdebug corrected (from vdfdebug).
Updated JavaScript / Custom Web Control pages with new syntax after JavaScript code of the WebApp Framework has been refactored into actual JavaScript ES6 classes. This was started in RC1 and completed in the final release.
Documentation of Trim_Varchar_Values was incomplete; it was also added to DB2DRV.INT and ODBC_DRV.INT pages.

Documentation of attributes DF_DRIVER_TRIM_VARCHAR_VALUES and DF_DATABASE_TRIM_VARCHAR_VALUES was incomplete.

Installation & Environment Guide: The DataFlex Windows Client is missing "Client" in the name of the installation EXE; also updated to 25.0.

Description of the example in DfDateToSqlDate now clarifies the difference in behavior between SQL Server and other drivers.
Updated documentation to show that for cWebDDOHost_mixin classes (cWebGroup, cWebCard), Main_DD at runtime now does not return 0 if there is no DDO structure in objects of those classes. It will delegate and return the Main_DD of its parent. This makes it more consistent with Server, which will also delegate and restore backwards compatibility.
