opp stage Pledged should show $0 total paid by default about gwbase

Agree with this change.

The larger question here is should we continue with hidden mirror payments, which have created confusion in the past. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have mirror payments that get created automatically and kept in sync, but perhaps consider not hiding them from the user. This does open up new issues, like what do we do to the opp amount when a user edits a single payment, but maybe Evan's new payment code just keeps them in sync with opp amount now, I can't remember.

I'm in favor of keeping the mirror payments hidden. I think it's considerably less confusing to only see them when you want to run a report, than it is to see them all the time on the opp record, even when you've not created a payment schedule.

If we did make them visible we would have to worry about keeping more than the amount in sync. If user tried to change the Paid or Written Off checkboxes manually that could cause problems as well. Or even the date field. All of that is kept in sync currently.
