Leaf LIMS 3.3 release

Some improvements to alerts and plugins along with an important addition to the docker-compose.yml file used to run Leaf LIMS. Please read the section below before you update as not having the correct value in place will cause the LIMS to fail to start.

IMPORTANT: You will either need to run the installer again (without --with-settings) or add the following line to your settings.json file before running the installer: "EXTERNAL_PLUGINS": "./plugins". The system will NOT start without this present. You can replace "./plugins" with the path to a directory containing plugins you would like to use.

New features:

• Big improvements to plugins - now proper support for custom external plugins (see the Leaf LIMS plugin docs for more details).
• Improvements to alerts - can now use Markdown formatting to create basic HTML emails as well as accessing instance properties using instance.<property> (e.g. name would be instance.name).
• "Archived" is now shown as "Finished" to better represent its purpose.
