Summary: mostly bug fixes related to the reliability of alarms and widget player during network disruptions.  Also adds "None" alarm audio source.  There are virtually no other UI changes.  We are making this slipstream release available in order to address these issues before the longer term Control Panel 2.7 project.

* adds fall back to Beep alarm tone when alarm set to My Music Files, but no music files are found
* fixes some logic regarding rescheduling of alarms in certain combinations
* honors alarm duration more reliably for alarm tones and tracked sources such as Mediafly.

Widget Player:

* reduces network traffic in "Night Mode"

Other:
