More Robust Countdown

[GoogleCodeExporter]

One of the features we'll be working on in the next release is an updated
countdown clock. Right now, the countdown clock are linear single
termination point clocks, meaning when they they expire, they're done for
good, and their termination point must be a date/time.

The next release will overhaul this process, and make a much more robust
countdown clock with the following features:

  * Multi-expiration cyclical countdowns - Expire every day at 10pm, expire
every tuesday at 3:30, expire every first of the month, etc
  * Rollover countdowns - When the termination date of a countdown clock is
reached, instead of merely displaying nothing and removing it from the
clocks the manager winds, it will become a countup clock and begin counting
up time that has passed since the expiration of the countdown clock. This
will become default functionality.

Did not implement the mulit-expirational cyclical countdowns in the code 
itself, but they are achievable through 
front-end manipulation easily enough.

Also, rollover countdowns are joined by a nice little timer system.
