v6.5.0

Release 6.5.0 of the MobileDOAS software, with support for both OceanOptics and Avantes spectrometers.

Notice that there are here two builds of the software, one with support for OceanOptics and one with support for Avantes. Rationale is that the build with support for a specific manufacturer requires the device drivers for that manufacturer to be installed on the computer, or the software will crash. Separate builds makes it possible to require only installing drivers for one manufacturer.
