Support for longer running functions in Detached mode, and delivery destinations

When you invoke a function in Detached mode, you can now specify a longer function execution timeout. The Detached invocation timeout (detachedModeTimeoutInSeconds) parameter now controls the execution timeout of a detached invocation. You can set the Detached invocation timeout parameter to a value between 5 seconds and 3600 seconds (1 hour). Previously, the value of the Synchronous invocation timeout (timeoutInSeconds) parameter applied, with a maximum of 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Detached invocation now also supports additional configuration options for post-execution delivery destinations. The results of successful and failed detached invocations can now be sent to the Notifications service, the Queue service, and the Streaming service.
