participant_id comparison uses Local::Utils::matches() to handle numerical or non-numerical values

modified previous validation - wasn't compatible with test/UAT participant ID blocks

added participant_id validation

for UCLH: arranged sort order of previous records by registration date then lab number - done by Perl sort function as RDBO forces t1.id 1st if using DATE(requests.created_at) in sort options

full path to git for cron; changed dir to HILIS4 home so git commands work

genomics_xml.pl timestamps errors and also appends HILIS4 app version number to log file

removed invalid xml participant id entry 'UNKNOWN' if request unscreened

simplified generation of participant id - moved patient_case_id lookup into main requests query, skipped patient_case_id field when creating %required_fields; updated genomics.t so tests pass

genomics participant id only created/updated if record screened and unit number still at default UNKNOWN, previously had to lookup unit number every time

patched genomics_xml.pl to update unit number with participant id at any time, not just within of screening, in case of script error on 1st run after screening, in which case opportunity for unit number update lost

bugfixes: don't skip request if validation fails for genomics.t; can't use content_contains on string with line-break

bugfixes a) auto-vivification in genomics_xml.pl, b) auto-vivification didn't cause validation failure in xml_validate.pl as params validated after xml created - changed to same order as in genomics_xml.pl; applied same fix as genomics_xml.pl to return value from validate_params() in xml_validate.pl

bugfix: genomics_xml validate_params always returned arrayref (so evaluated to true) even when empty; changed new_user.tt group_label to group_name for case-insensitivity of 'guest' user; field name change for genomics

moved xtr_96 dummy data to Roles::Storage; adapted xtr-96 functions to handle 24, 48 or 96 well racks - controller supplies dimensions toi .tt to draw table; changed configurdation for ftp_file() method to use cwd if supplied and ability to override binary mode; syncona-14mg script logs datetime; new genomics xsd after field changes; disabled some labels in genomics cancer blood SLF

extended xml validation to include patterns that cannot be validated using XML libs (eg family id pattern); modifications to lab-test field names
