Replace usages of Prototype.js with jQuery

      jQuery is our standard JS library in Confluence now, so we need to rewrite functionality to use it instead of Prototype.

      This seems to be a little bit more important now because some functionality isn't working properly with jQuery 1.3 because of Prototype's overriding of document.getElementByClassName().

            Labels javascript has been rewritten to use jquery now and Prototype/Scriptaculous libraries are no longer present on Confluence pages.

            A legacy web resource plugin has been written (disabled by default) for customers to easily enable in case a plugin is still dependent on these libraries.

            With CONF-16571, the page permissions javascript was rewritten so that the only dependency on Prototype/Scriptaculous is now labels.

            I guess this issue can now just be called, rewrite labels javascript so it doesn't rely on DWR or Prototype.

            Turns out that the most difficult part of this is the labels auto-complete drop-down. It has a copy of some Scriptaculous autocomplete control, modified for our use.

            I think the easiest way would be to rewrite the autocomplete to reuse our jQuery dropdown code, like found in the search screen user picker.
