Remove timestamps

[mguthriem]

Short description of the changes:

Fixed bugs in latest qa version. Also created new option to remove timestamps

Long description of the changes:

Fixing some bugs related to how workspace names were parsed let me to implement a requested feature to hide timestamps. The implementation was to create a new mode switchable via a new application.yml parameter cleanTree. If cleanTree=true, when reduction occurs, all timestamped workspaces are hidden and a clone of the latest workspaces is kept visible with its timestamp removed. This was fully tested with all workflows and seems to work nicely.

Another addition was the option to filter events according to wall clock time while reducing.
