"Bonus Round" for Swiss Events

Sometimes in a Swiss event you advertise an N round event, but because of pair ups/downs a single, undefeated winner can be found after N-1 rounds. This leads to some awkward matchups with Swiss being only really good at finding a X-0 player.

As a solution, add the TO the ability to add a "Bonus Round" (name pending) that uses the current swiss pairings, counts for ratings (if the event is rated) and otherwise applies all stats to the event but DOESN'T affect the overall standings.

This gives the best of both worlds of sticking to Swiss' stengths but guaranteeing a certain number of rounds.
