Change Logs, Beta 17 - 5/28/2023

1. iCloud Reauthentication - Fixed a problem where the reauthentication notification kept repeating after the authentication code was accepted. This also fixed the problem where two Authentication Entry windows were displayed on the HA Devices & Settings screen that could not be closed.
2. Configuration Wizard/iCloud Account Credentials screen:
   1. Changed it's name to Data Sources - iCloud Account & iOS App
   2. Split the 'iCloud Account' data source into 2-options - Family Sharing List and Find-my-Friends to prevent FmF error messages during start up.
3. New Configuration Parameter - Added a Display GPS Coordinates (Format Parameters screen) - This option indicates if the GPS Coordinates/Accuracy or only the GPS Accuracy should be displayed in the Event Log
4. Log Level - A Debug log level that automatically turns off at midnight was added (Format Parameter Screen).
   NOTE: A BROWSER REFRESH IS REQUIRED
5. iCloud3 Startup:
   1. Improved the error checking during startup.
   2. A summary of any startup errors is displayed at the end of the startup process.
   3. An alert will display at the top of the Event Log if there are any startup errors.
6. Event Log > Actions - The log_level is now saved to the configuration file when it is set to a new value (Start/Stop Debug or Rawdata Logging). You no longer have to go to the Configuration Wizard to save it. The Start Debug Log is automatically turned off at midnight.
7. iOS App Data Only Source - Fixed a few problems related to tracking only with the iOS App.
