Added a new preference to select the star resolver mirror (GetStar or Simbad ...) and indicate it in bold in the pop-up menu

Fixed rendering of the Star resolver's search field on MacOS to select the star resolver among GetStar & Simbad services

Updated the Star resolver to query the JMMC's GetStar service (new default) as new resolver (CDS's Simbad still available) to get lot more information (AllWise & Gaia mags...); click on the small arrow on the left side to show available star resolvers (pop-up menu)
VLTI: Added support for GPAO Laser Guide Star (LGS) VIS / IR offered in ESO P117 (commissioning in progress); see the Aspro2's user manual to see strehl plots per instrument mode
Enhanced the command line tool to compute interferometric observables to support new arguments (-modelInterpol and -modelExtrapol) concerning FITS cube interpolation and extrapolation
CHARA: lowered max elevation to 85 deg as motors suffers rotating scope and report warning at 80 deg

Added GAIA G_bp & G_rp magnitudes in the Target Editor and the target importer (SearchCal/GetStar VOTable handling)
Fixed the command line tool to compute interferometric observables from an OIFITS file (dataset) and an user model image cube (FITS) to handle correctly the model's wavelength range smaller than the instrument's wavelength range given by OIWavelength tables (Restricted instrument mode / fits cube extrapolation disabled)
