Released: openJII June platform release

A major platform release introducing Workbooks, a full data-exploration and charting overhaul, refreshed platform navigation, collaboration improvements, and a large IoT/devices infrastructure update.

First platform deploy since May 18, and a big one: the Workbooks feature, a full data-exploration & charting overhaul, the platform chrome refresh, and a large IoT/devices push. Mobile is already current (1.30.3 live on its own app-store track, nothing new here). The general data-upload overhaul is intentionally held back for a later release.
