1.12.0 API changes (Iriel)

This is a list of the API changes detected when comparing the current 0.12 PTR build against the last 1.11.2 live build. Many of the changes are covered in the 1.12 changes sticky post. I've marked those which are incompatible changes to existing functionality with !!!!.

• NEW ClearCursor - Clears whatever item the cursor is dragging from the cursor.

Once again it appears that Blizzard want to torment us with an API set that we can't actually use, first it was the minigames API, and now this.. My guess by the names is that these are all related to some sort of in-game lottery. Maybe the faire is getting more carnies?
