v3.00.57rc1 - closer to fine

Summary

"The less I seek my source for some definitive, the closer I am to fine." -- Indigo Girls.

The last version (3.0.56) was the first one where we thought sr3 could replace any
v2 configuration. As we did so, a few new regressions were found in some senders.
This release addresses all of those. We are close to there being none left.

There are also improvements in this release:

• #1350 Add “down” and “disconnected” run states to sr3 status
• #1323 DESTFN=NONE::TIME now works.
• #1299 after_gather entry point added.
• #1289 accept statements now provide arguments to plugins
• change in post_exchangeSplit… now based on relPath, not checksum. (work on HPC.)
• fix #1241 sr3 status more compact.
• fix #1206 exclude retries from lag calculation.
• #1301 sr3 status display fractional message rates when (< 1 / second.)
• user mode systemd unit file now tested and working.
• The https://dd.weather.gc.ca web site was revised. Example subscriptions revised to match.
• #1346 warn that queue parameters should be earlier in configs now.

Sender regressions compared to v2 that are fixed:

• #1337 mirror per umask, not global
• #1340 rename not working.
• #1327 inflight NONE in sender causes messages to be retried.
• #1322 sr3 sender fails to post message when no identity field in message.

As well as many other bug fixes.
