General fixes

Fixed an issue that caused GUI to become unusable with a blank window, after a remote login from a browser set to a language not supported by the HMC. Symptoms include logon attempts not completing with URL bouncing back and forth from /dashboard to /dashboard/#home/getting-started.
Fixed Guided Setup Wizard Config to automatically reboot and restart the HMC services for certificate replacement.
Fixed a rare timing issue that caused the CPU utilization for a partition that had just been migrated to a managed system in an Enterprise Pool (EP) 2.0 to be incorrectly high for the first minute. This issue is rare and can only occur when the HMC managing the destination managed system is at V9.2.950 + PTF MH01883/MH01884 and the partition migration finishes in under 2 minutes. This issue can cause significant EP 2.0 metered usage to be charged.
Fixed the resource utilization table on the PCM Dashboard to prevent the Utilized Memory column from showing up twice for systems not supporting virtual persistent memory.
Fixed an issue where some events are called home twice creating duplicate serviceable events. Primary impact is on B****504 events.
