Orbeon Forms 4.0 Beta

Today we released the first Beta release of Orbeon Forms 4.0! Like 4.0 M19 and the previous milestone builds this is not a final release.
We have addressed lots of issues in this Beta release, covering Form Builder, Form Runner, Liferay support, and more. We also addressed a bunch of UI and cosmetic issues and increased the amount of testing we have done. With this, we have closed almost all the known bugs we wanted to address for 4.0.
