[rz] Countdown

[rz] Countdown v1.0

This lightweight extension shows a count-down cycle and optional events are triggered when the specified date and time are reached.
It comes in two versions:
- standalone, that includes all the visual part with many customization and styling.
- external (connection), that connects with other objects (usually text elements) in the page in order to allow the maximum designer's freedom.

Some features:

- The future date includes a specific time in that date.
- Selectable colors, fonts, sizes and styles for both the numbers and texts.
- Several display modes.
- Show and hides objects at specified delays (once the date and time are reached).
- Page replacement (like a redirector) at a specified delay.
- Custom JavaScript function call at a specified delay.
- Lightweight, no dependencies, no jQuery.
- Sample included.
