HTML Widgets; widget.UI.Forms.ShowHtmlWidgetModal method added

A new mechanism has been added to allow an HTML Widget to display another HTML Widget and also allow the first HTML Widget to receive callbacks from the second HTML Widget.

This is achieved via the widget.UI.Forms.ShowHtmlWidgetModal method method.

The new widget.ParentNotify method can be used from the second HTML Widget to message the first.

NOTE: This is not available to externally hosted HTML Widgets or Portals and the notification mechanism is not available when testing an HTML Widget in an external web browser from the Scripts form.

The finPOWER Connect 3 HTML Widgets guide has been updated to document this new feature.
