Support import of IDF files with daylighting coorinate system set to absolute vs. relative (Bugzilla #41)

I'm not too concerned that you can't create illuminance maps in either relative or absolute, but I noticed that they import form IDF incorrectly if the source file is absolute. Of course this only matters if there is a zone rotation with daylighting or map objects. For control points could just adjust the glare angle. Maps aren't as easy. If we want to support them but but still keep them relative, then maybe we can rotate the zone itself on IDF conversation so the map to zone relationship is correct? Dan, I'll let you address where this goes. I suppose the fix itself is probably not something for Q1, but our import could log this in the error dialog?

Moving older bugs to "retest" milestone. Will re-test these and then assign to appropriate milestone. These were all 0.6.0 prior to change.

Still potential issue. This was an old bug. Please re-test/verify.

I'm not sure that we ever addressed this. Would be good to pick up before we deprecate the legacy plugin.

Batch moving bugs from SketchUp to "Code" component

Start by reproducing import of an IDF file whose daylighting coordinate system is absolute, including a rotated zone with daylighting or map objects, and compare it with relative coordinates. Trace the import behavior and determine whether imported control points and maps preserve the intended relationship; done means the geometry is correct or the limitation is clearly reported in the error dialog.
