Modified relisting delay intervals to minutes instead of hours; automatically update the existing auctions' settings for the new time unit of minutes
Updated processing for auto-relisting based on inventory. When relisting an auction the software will set the catalog visibility of the auction to hidden, copy the auction to a new auction product, adjust the settings (end date, bid start date, and stock level), and publish the copy as a new auction making it visible in the store. This way relisting can occur relatively soon (based on settings, for example 1 minute after ending) while still allowing the winner to pay for the original auction item.
Updated the countdown timer to always call the onTick event for automatic price update via Ajax, but it only executes the Ajax portion if the auction is ending within the auto-refresh interval.

Fixed saving auctions settings where a few settings may not save if changed after the first save.
Removed hook for 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item' so that non-auction products have their normal add to cart buttons when drawing the shop loop pages
