Changes and other clean-up

• Updated icon locations for flowdock template.
• Remove old and unused templates. All bundled templates should now be XML based.
• Support only one template in an XML template config.

Previously XML based bundled templates had the <webhook-template> xml element wrapped inside an outer <webhook-templates> element. This is superfluous. Bundled templates will only ever include a single template. This is an internal change and will not affect any users.
However, this change means that the output from /app/rest/webhooks/templates/id:abc/rawConfig is suitable for insertion straight into a new template rather than having to wrap it in a superfluous tag.

Examples of using the capitalise, capitalize and substr macros

• ${substr(build.vcs.number,0,7,32)} turns 3b0a11eda029aaeb349993cb070a1c2e5987906c into 3b0a11e. This takes chars from 0 to 7 but only because the string is 32 chars in length or greater. In this exmaple, any string passed to substr which is less than 32 chars will not be changed.
• ${capitalise(string)} turns we are all lowercase into We Are All Lowercase by capitalising the first letter of each word.
• ${capitalize(string)} is the same as above, but in American rather than English ;-)
