Support for PostgreSQL 8.2

PayPal improvements
- Handle if mc_fee (transaction fee) is undefined from PayPal
- Hard-coding PayPal IP addresses for walled garden rules until firmware fix (dynamic walled garden rules) is available
- Improved checking for invalid user names (spaces in user names, invalid characters)
New Guest Module features
- Blocked Devices: allows an administrator to create a list of MAC addresses to block from authenticating with the Guest module. MAC can still authenticate with other Authentication Systems if available.
- Access Codes: prompts the user to enter an access code to log in as a Guest. Administrators can add access codes from the web UI or import from a CSV file. Administrators can also define valid time periods that a code can be used.
- Guest Expiration Interval: requires the user to log in through the captive portal after a specified interval. For example, you can require guests to view captive portal advertising every x minutes.
- Guest Blackout Period: if an expiration interval is defined, an administrator can optionally set a blackout period where a client (MAC Address) will not be permitted to log in again for the specified interval. For example, you can let a user surf for an hour for free, after which they are blocked for 6 hours.
Miscellaneous improvements
- Updates to watchdog
- Fixed node page "Map" button
- Properly detect validity of email addresses in Node Contact field (to send node inactive emails)
- Fixed handling of invalid characters in captive portal image file names (single quotes)
