Feature enhancement

• Added the ability to add an impressum/legal notice at the footer of each page – see Admin|Configure|Miscellaneous.
• Added code to interface with a Word add-in if the WIKINDX allows read-only access, can be reached through https:// and has
  in-text citation styles (such as APA, Harvard, MLA etc.). The add-in allows the importation of references and citations (quotations/paraphrases) direct from one or more wikindices. The word document can be 'finalized' in the add-in and this (re)formats the inserted references to the
  chosen style and appends a bibliography ordered as required.
• Allow to use the CN as a LDAP login.

Maintenance

• New rule (code 34) about the characters set of the component_id field of the component.json file.

• WIKINDX_MEMORY_LIMIT: follow the default official value of PHP memory_limit (128MB).
• WIKINDX_MAX_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT: follow the default official value of PHP max_execution_time (30 seconds).
• Remove the deprecated syntax of WIKINDX_MAX_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT. The value cannot be a string now.
