v25.5.0 (2025-05-02) Multi-model histograms and more!

Amongst the many changes in this release we now have the capability to plot multiple models on the same plot, at least for histogram plots. This should be a significant aid to those comparing multiple models with CSET. We also have significantly improved documentation (though it has been online for a while), improved colour bars, various performance improvements, simplification of workflow configuration GUI, and various bug fixes.
