Summary0011897: Refactor footer of pages using XHTML/CSS and allow user-specified copyright notice
Description

The footer of each page is currently a bit of a mess using an old school table based layout.

The following changes would help improve the footer:

1) "Copyright MantisBT group" makes it sound like the content of the bug tracker is copyrighted by MantisBT when in fact it is just the software which is copyrighted. This should be changed to "Powered by MantisBT which is copyrighted by..." to remove the ambiguity.

2) Introduce a new (optional) $g_copyright_statement configuration option that allows users to specify in a single line the copyright and licensing status of the content of their bug trackers.

3) Add a new $g_show_memory_usage setting so that $g_show_time doesn't pull in the memory usage as well.

4) $g_show_queries_count should be properly separated from $g_show_queries_list. The count is just a number and doesn't cause any harm. The queries list could contain potentially sensitive information and thus is treated as a completely separate option from showing just the query count.

5) Use semantic XHTML markup for the footer with CSS styling (instead of the old table based layout).

TagsNo tags attached.
