Show busy indicator — with_busy_indicator

These functions add button feedback features including: disabling the button while processing requested function, showing a spinning wheel while processing requested function, displaying a green checkmark showing success upon completion, or displaying an error message if the function requested failed. They require the development version of shinyjs (>= 1.0.1.9006). With earlier versions, the buttons will succeed but visual indicator feedback will not appear.
