[Plugin: Sponsors Carousel] Another patch – New Window and Auto scroll

This patch contains both the previous new window functionality and the ability to turn auto scrolling on and off. On can be slow (10 second pause), medium (6 second pause) or fast (3 second pause). It defaults to off.

I have tested both of these patches in my development environment and they are currently under-going UAT. Obviously, use these at your risk.
