This PR is to merge the next major version of the logger firmware into the main development chain. Although the target is primarily the logger firmware, it has knock-on effects in the Python code-base (e.g., for a new version of the binary file format, 1.4).

The code here addresses a number of issues in the tracker (now closed pending this release candidate being adopted), including #110 (raw filenames), #100 (bad reception on NMEA0183 stalling the run-loop and website), #98 (recording arbitrary NMEA2000 PGNs), #94 (corrupted catalogue JSON), #90 (status LED logic), #81 (recording the NMEA2000 speaker ID for later filtering), #56 (persisting the file inventory catalogue for faster startup), and #51 (filtering NMEA2000 talkers when converting data).

This PR is soliciting comments from developers about aspects that might break their process. See the updated ReleaseNotes for further information on changes.

This PR uses the system alias for the Python executable to ensure that the correct one is used, rather than using the default "python" and hoping that the OS works this out (this is particularly problematic in Windows).

Add NMEA2000 talker ID to the WIBL raw data file format, and support for reading the file, and converting to it.

This adds backwards compatibility for the binary data file from the logger (currently v 1.3 and v 1.4, the former being the most common in practice, and the latter the version that adds new packets for NMEA2000 filters and binary data).
