Time Off Planner plugin API

The Time Off Planner plugin API has been changed for 6.2.3 to support the propagation of requests from MVS to the Time Off Planner. For requests that originate from an action done in MVS (usually the ASV), the API now considers the request as valid and takes no action. This changed API differs from the previous version of the API, which would proceed with the validation and processing of the request.

For example, when a user books off a shift in MVS, a new request is created in the Time Off Planner tables, which initiates the plugin. Since the book off request originated from an action done in MVS, the plugin takes no action as the book off is already being created in MVS.

This change requires custom plugins that were created before this release to be modified to do nothing if the request originated from MVS. Otherwise, an exception would be thrown when the plugin tries to take the appropriate action (in this case, create a book off) in MVS.

Note: There is no change to the propagation of time off requests from the Time Off Planner to MVS.
