I updated several files for the 2.8 release. I updated the INSTALL_NOTES
to reference 2.8 instead of 2.7.3, I updated the date on the splash screen
to September 2014, and I updated the version in build_visit to 2.8, and
I modified build_visit to download files from the 2.8 release instead of 
the trunk.

I accidently merged a change to build_visit from the 2.8 RC to the trunk 
that I shouldn't have. I have reverted that change (having build_visit 
download files from the 2.8 release instead of the trunk).
