Release for tag v4.1

This is the first release of the standalone version of DP3. We believe this version is stable and ready for production.

DP3 was extracted from and branched off LOFAR Release 3.2 (Sept 2018), with a minimum set of dependencies. Since then, it has undergone quite some changes both in its architecture as well as by adding some functionality. Some of the new functionality includes:

• More options & saver handling of beam (#68, #60, #80)
• Direct subtraction of model in DDECal (#25)
• Support for fulljones mode in H5ParmPredict (#9, #54)
• No more runtime linking issues thanks to direct internal linking of previously external steps (#52)
• A smoothness constraint

In total, 29 tickets were closed and 40 pull requests were merged.

To use the LOFAR beam in DP3, you will have to specify the location of the station response library during compilation. You can either install the station response library by compiling the full LOFAR repository, or by installing the standalone LOFARBeam package.
