XOR operator for expression analyses

AF (and PE) expressions currently have AND and OR operators. These work either logically or (if both operands are integer) in a bitwise fashion. There should also be an XOR operator that works the same way, to avoid the messy construct (A AND NOT ...

After generating "Preview Results" (from right mouse click on analysis name on PSE Analysis Templates tab) it would be nice if the upper results table would auto scroll to the related time value when using the trend cursor to click on the results ...

New AF analyses should be automatically backfilled a set time interval upon creation.
