core 36 and contrib updates

[isangil]

Let's test whether the latest core (36) and some contrib modules updates build well and work well with DEIMS. Of special interest is making auto-entity-label into stable, removing the patch dependency, and some other stables.

[isangil]

testing continues -- deims builds with the core and modules below. also, articles, datasources, people, datasets and views work. need to see about context, search, and auto-labels.

core 7.36
addressfield to 1.1 (stable)
admin_menu to rc5
admin_select to 1.5
auto_entitylabel to 1.3 (removes patch for Inline entity)
ctools to 1.7
ds to 1.8
email to 1.3
extlink to 1.18
field_validation to 2.4
helper to 1.5
module filter to 2.0
search_api to 1.14
search_api_db to 1.4 (stable)
views to 3.11
views-content-cache to 3.0-alpha3

[isangil]

would also be good to test these:

Context 3.6
Custom Breadcrumbs 2.0-beta1
Entity API 1.6

[isangil]

must be cautios about the search-api- update --
see log after running cron:

[isangil]

Looks like search_api_db introduces some nifty changes since 1.3 that breaks havoc with our Index. The issue surfaces with other distros, and the workarounds are cumbersome enough not to plunge everybody into this. Here is the link trail of similar problems:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2274355
https://www.drupal.org/node/1623094 : Reverting an exported index definition deletes the tables
https://www.drupal.org/node/2274355 update to version 1.3 (or later) failures
https://www.drupal.org/node/2343371 Broken table logic

the next thing will be to try this update up to v1.2 of the Search API module

[isangil]

new attempt with Search API 1.2 so far looks good. articles OK, person OK, dataset OK, datasource OK. more testing needed.

[isangil]

some core updates and contrib updates that are more recent make this issue obsolete
