Converted the account list for requests to the new GMAS user interface
- New screen for create/edit shell accounts, including an autocomplete lookup for root

Added IDC rates and basis to the budget view on the proposal home page
New shell accounts created by the system will now automatically default the root for the PI or Mentor (main, subagreement, and IFI accounts)

Converted the view and edit for the foreign/overseas approval, added "Done" and "Needed" status as new options
Updated and simplified approval generation rules for all non-person approvals
- All places in GMAS that generate approvals now follow the same rules (all requests and segment revision)
Retired GMAS to-dos for Human Subjects IRB, IACUC, and Admin salaries approvals (these to-dos appeared in the GMAS to-do list for PIs, no emails were ever sent)

Deliverables with multiple email recipients will now send as one email to all recipients
Added a warning message when revising a deliverable that has paid receivables
Fixed an issue where the automatic overhead adjustment was not including an adjustment comment
Fixed an issue where the automatic overspent adjustment could be a positive instead of negative amount
Fixed an issue where deliverables associated to multiple receivables were duplicated in the list

Added support for "Billing agreements"
- Added a project type option for new proposals. This project type will not generate any person approvals (Conflict of interest, Participation agreement)
- Added a funding instrument option in segment revision. This will force the fund type to be NE
Added department administrators to the recipient list for "Notice logged" emails
Added two new discipline codes for "Materials Science" and "Natural Resources and Conservation". "Medical (Clinical)" has been updated to be "Health Sciences"
Created backend support to identify university wide standing teams that will automatically stay up to date when new orgs are added
Added sorting to the category column on the documents screen
Removed the <Record subagreement invoices> button from the account financials page. This function was retired in a previous release
Refactored action memo generation code to improve performance

Updated to logic for the Non-federal interest posting process
- Any NE funds with a credit balance but no active accounts will still post interest to default Tub-level orgs
- Object code 4531 is now included in the fund balance calculation
Updated the disable process - accounts that fail will now be set back to "Enabled" instead of "Ready to disable". This will allow the accounts to be edited if needed.

Updated the PrimeFaces UI library to version 7.0
Added HUID as a data element when loading root data from the Harvard Data Warehouse
Added automatic retry for interfaces using sftp to help prevent connection failures
