Release v0.15.0

This release is a major roll-up of many incremental enhancements.
Note that the Builder is separately downloaded from the GUIslice-Builder repo

Changes since 0.14.0:

• Enhance: major updates & improvements to the Builder (download separately from the GUIslice-Builder repo)
• Add: widget: XTogglebtn
• Add: widget: XSeekbar
• Add: Touch driver for RA8875_SUMO

Migration notes

• A minor breaking change was added to XCheckbox (for #244). This only impacts a minor subset of users that are detecting a checkbox disable event action. If the user code has a checkbox callback function that tests for nSelId == GSLC_ID_NONE and then determines which checkbox was responsible for this event (via pvElemRef), a simpler method is now available: determine the checkbox that triggered an event (via nSelId) and then test the bChecked state.
