Modified the sample app to adjust to changes recently made in the XamDataPresenter. Specifically, removed the sample functions that manipulated the DynamicDataPendingXxx properties on the XamDataPresenter as these properties have been removed.

Added functionality to the sample to modify a newly added DataPresenterbrushKey called DataPendingOverlayBrushKey which controls the color used to fill the data pending overlay.
