New Feature fields showing forecast effort at completion and variation from original estimate

Would be useful to quickly be able to report on those features that are tracking over their baseline estimate. This would allow a project manager to quickly identify which features are impacting the capacity, especially if tracking over capacity.

Currently, have to manually calculate expected effort at completion from the Feature Remaining Effort and Feature Logged Effort fields. Should be easy to sum these two fields, to create, say "Feature Effort at Completion" and provide another calculated field comparison with Original Estimate.

We also need to compare the first estimate for a feature (i.e. the initial SWAG, not the existing "Feature Original Estimate" value that shows the latest estimate that overrides previous feature estimates) against the final effort at completion.
