flexible and simple to actually use. New: Two additional built-in pagination types: 'simple_numbers' and 'full'. Update: 'two_buttons' type pagination (previous default) renamed to 'simple'. New: Default pagination type is now 'simple_numbers'. New: Introducing renderers to DataTables (something that will play an important part moving forward). New: Simplified pagination button classes to simply: * "sPageButton": "paginate_button" * "sPageButtonActive": "current" * "sPageButtonDisabled": "disabled" - The basis for this commit is a restructuring of how pagination plug-ins work in DataTables, whereby the pagination plug-in simply returns an array of button types which should be shown. These are then actually displayed by the renderer. This seperates the logic for which buttons to show from the display logic, making it much easier, both to customise which buttons will be shown, and for integration plug-ins to customise the display of the buttons (since they don't need to replicate the button calculation logic). This change allows us to introduce two new built-in pagination types to DataTables with minimal size cost. Indeed, this change as a whole reduces the compressed DataTables size by 2.5K (additional functionality, simpler and smaller - what's not to like!?). - Pagination button classes in DataTables were a mess before, with different classes used for the two built in types, with the additional complexity of only one of the defined class options being used, rather than concatinating the classes based on the type. This was bonkers and a barrier to new users styling the form as they wanted. Reducing to just three class options, and having the active and disabled options added to the base class makes it MUCH simpiler. This could hit backwards compatiblity for those who had styled the mad old style, but it would have been crazy to keep it while writing the rest.
