[DBTech] DragonByte Donate 5.0.0b1

This version represents a significant change under-the-hood to better support new features, some of which can be found in this very version!

You (and your members) can now "Watch" a donation drive and receive alerts for new donations.

It is also now possible to react to donations. This can be disabled per donation drive, and can be turned off/controlled globally via user group permissions.

The notification Direct Message should now be more reliably added if the donation is confirmed at a later stage, via the AdminCP.

For developers, it is now easier than ever to extend the functionality of the addon, owing to the refactor and moving to Services for add/edit/confirm actions.

Note: The settings and user group permissions have been renamed internally, and while every effort has been made to carry over your settings, they may have reverted to default on upgrade. Please double-check the XenForo Options and user group permissions for this add-on after upgrade, if you have customised them.
