Clone the new Map tab onto all your custom details views

So for those of you who run heavily customized environments you may have noticed that the new maps view only gets added to the default node details view.  I wrote this script that looks through all the views, figures out which ones could have a Maps tab and clones it in for you.  All you need to do is run the below powershell on your Orion server under a Windows account with view customizing permissions and in 2 seconds it will add the maps tab to all your custom versions of the details views.  I've tested it pretty extensively in my lab but as always take a backup of your db before you run any scripts and let me know if you get any unexpected results.
