Fixes include:
. vB3.5 Gold issue when vB and PP are in separate databases

Also included fixes for:
. Reviews PAL cache refresh using wrong permissions
. Force refresh of cache when new products are uploaded (forces Recent Products to update immediately)
. Force refresh of cache when a product is deleted (forces Recent Products to update immediately)
. Regular sidebar templates files had initial call to calpal.php which was since moved to a template file.
