Johnfreeman/prep release merged

[jcfreeman2]

With fddaq-v5.5.0 now cut, this source branch consists of a fork of the develop branch with prep-release/fddaq-v5.5.0 merged in (i.e., this will be a fast-forward merge which brings the fddaq-v5.5.0 code into develop). Over the weekend a test nightly was created, MRGFD_DEV_251213_A9, in which all the johnfreeman/prep_release_merged branches were used, and if I pip install -U . the johnfreeman/prep_release_merged branch of drunc, integration tests with it look fine.

n.b. The reason for the single repo CI workflow failure isn't due to the code itself, but because the fact that there's a johnfreeman/prep_release_merged branch of dbe means that dbe gets built, but fails because Qt would need to be specially loaded in for dbe.
