Avaframe

This is a benchmark release.
We are updating the benchmarks that changed due to the introduction of the samosATAuto friction model. This release contains all necessary configuration changes. The actual result files will be pushed in the next version 1.7.1.
We also updated and cleaned all AIMEC plotting, including new plots and removing/consolidating some others.

The samosATAuto release:
The biggest, most obvious change in this release is the introduction of a samosATAuto friction relation (set as default). It decides the friction calibration for samosAT friction relation based on release volume (small, medium, large). This also means that some of our benchmarks show differences (see attached zip) for those avalanches that are now in the categories small or medium. We will update our benchmark results with the next release. It also means that we now have moved away from a single mu setting (in com1DFACfg.ini) for all friction relations and gave each friction model its own mu setting. Also the simulation names indicate the friction calibration if small or medium was used.

Other changes include:
* separate runscripts for com1 and com2 (instead of using the runOperational with options)
* runscript for probabilityMaps (needed for the QGis connector)
* functions for release area statistics
* functions for particle tracking

There is one breaking change regarding the function `cleanSingleAvaDir`:
Remove keep log parameter from cleanSingleAvaDir

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/compare/1.5.1...1.5.2

This is a bugfix release:
For version 1.5 ANY simulation with com1DFA was marked as _C_ (for changed) instead of _D_ (for default), even in the case of no changes via local_ cfgs files. This is resolved now.

The parallel release. This adds parallel computation for com1DFA, meaning multiple simulations are run in parallel. For more information see [our documentation](https://docs.avaframe.org/en/latest/moduleCom1DFA.html?highlight=parallel#parallel-computation).
**Be aware, there is a breaking change** in case you call com1DFA functions directly: the calls to com1DFAMain changed; there is one less argument to give.

- Add info about parallel computation in doc [com1DFA]
- rename s to travelLengthXY [ana4AIMEC]
- particle properties renaming:
- s -> travelLengthXY
- l -> travelLengthXYZ
- set kernelradius to cellsize for default settings [com1DFA]
- Add parallel computation of com1DFACore [com1DFA]
- Remove redundant argument from com1DFA functions [com1DFA] !Breaking change!!
- Drop log to debug in pyx files; problem with QGIS!
- Add run from multiple cfg
- Turned off writing of damfootline since it is not threadsafe
- update probrun with drawing from full sample
- Fix mac parallel; fixes https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/issues/819
- Change the main of runOperational and runcom5glide snow in preparation for next connector release
- Add a latestSims.csv to com1DFA configuration output; needed for the qgis connector
