FOCUS-33412- Display underscores as spaces in computed tables

This resolution ensures that changes to the default user preferences under system preferences are updated to all applicable users.

FOCUS-33388- Fix inconsistencies in Attendance Teacher Completion

This branch makes several improvements to the Attendance/Teacher Completion page: 1) A custom timeframe can now be set when viewing a single user without the user being deselected. 2) The report timeframe will persist when a user is selected or deselected. 3) The correct attendance entries will now be returned for the entered date or date range. Originally, the report only returned attendance entries in the same marking period as the start date/report date, ignoring the end date. This was causing records from previous marking periods and marking periods between the start and end date to be missing from the report. With this information, the report will correctly return records from the beginning of the year to the report date, or records between the start and end dates if an end date is provided.

FOCUS-33059- Discipline Referral: Show recalc of action length if changed.

On a discipline referral with an existing action record, if the user changes the date ends or length to a new value, the other value recalculates. If the user then changes it back to the original value it, the recalculation didn't trigger again. This branch fixes it to always display the current length if the end date is changed and the current end date if the length is changed.
