Improvements and Bug Fixes 🧰

• External Verification Extra Step: In order to stop auto-verification caused by changes in Google and other email clients, an extra step in the workflow was added.  When confirming impacts from emails, the external verifier will be taken to a separate page to submit their approvals.
• Removing the "Switch back to Classic View" Pop-Up: When a user switched from classic view to new view, a pop-up used to appear under the profile icon requesting feedback and giving the user the option to switch back to classic. This popup has been removed to reduce annoyance/confusion.
• Swapping PDF Fonts from Lato to DejaVuSans: Updated the GivePulse font library to support Hawaiian and other previously unsupported characters.
