[development] changes to project nodes and admin UI and now installed on drupal.org

i've recently finished another round of project node improvements,
and i just installed them all on drupal.org. of particular interest,
the "default version" link on the project nodes is now gone, replaced
with an auto-generated table of the latest releases for each version
of core your module supports[1]. development snapshots are there in
a separate table.
here's the important thing for you to know:
if your project has more than 1 branch for a given version of core
(e.g. 4.7.x-2.* and 4.7.x-1.* releases) you can now specify if the
latest 1.* or 2.* should be the default release for your project[2].
"default" means it'd be listed in that table on your project node,
and it'd be used as the "Download" link on the project browsing pages
[3] when filtering by a specific version of core (e.g. 4.7.x). you
can select this via the new admin UI which is the "releases" subtab
on the edit tab of your project node[4]. i hope the table is fairly
self-explanatory (though suggestions for improving the usability of
that table are certainly welcome).
also note that all issue-related project node settings now live in
the "issues" subtab, instead of being buried in collapsed fieldsets
on the old monolithic edit tab.

p.s. if filter by <all> versions on the project browsing pages,
things are still kind of lame. i'm working on fixing this:

any help there would be appreciated. thanks!
