PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs

ITX offers ADDDAYS, ADDHOURS and ADDMINUTES to Date Time objects. I have a requirement to add seconds, but there is currently no ADDSECONDS function offered to support this. My idea is to make an ADDSECONDS function available in ITX.
