to use, add "ISO_C_BINDING" by itself on a line someplace in the registry text file

Registry: add basic ISO_C_BINDING types
- removed: output channel handling from interface (unnecessary as will pipe to file instead) - make wavefield pointer setting private - add a registry file for new data organization (not included in build process yet) - remove ADI_HH_Vel from interface (may add later if needed)
- remove extra `IMPLICIT NONE` statements - change name SeaSt_GetWaveFieldPointer_C to SeaSt_C_GetWaveFieldPointer (matches convention elsewehre)
- SeaSt_C_GetFluidVelAccDens - SeaSt_C_GetSurfElev
…eVelAcc - add acceleration output (similar to `dev-tc` usage) - I don't see anything that directly uses this.
- SeaSt_C_GetWaveFieldPointer - convert to subroutine, add error handling, add DebugLevel - SeaSt_C_SetWaveFieldPointer - new routine - python lib: revisions to support above, and also to support a new regression test (in progress)
… table for the read_ServoDyn method
When linearizing with a trim solution and NLinTimes=1, the range of the reference outputs was always 0.01. Now it uses the channel value. This could probably be modified further, but for now, it gives a slightly better "range"
Linear Trim Solution: update range calculation when NLinTimes=1
Update comments and add warning for now StC channel requested
FAST_reader.py fix for ServoDyn.dat GenTrq_TLU read
NOTE: DLL interface does not support moments, but one user added a pipe in this location for applying forces/moments. The addition of this logic makes moments from a pipe possible
SrvD: updates to StC control from DLL
These were not getting included in testing for some reason.
Add in yaw friction cases
Fix simulink build for Windows in GH Actions
AeroAcoustics cleanup + added driver code
Minor correction to AA_driver_subs: changed `storage` array to `ReKi` so it will work with the binary writer
AA driver: add driver compile to cmake

Pull request overview
This pull request merges the dev branch into main to create the OpenFAST v4.2.0 release. The release includes numerous bug fixes, new features, and improvements across multiple modules including AeroDyn, HydroDyn, MoorDyn, SeaState, and others. Key changes include enhanced structural tuned mass control, improved wave field handling, new wavetank library for hardware-in-the-loop testing, and various code quality improvements.
Changes:
- Bug fixes across multiple modules (AeroAcoustics, FAST.Farm, OpenFAST linearization, WakeDynamics)
- New features including wavetank library, rectangular member drag modeling in HydroDyn, and enhanced StC control
- Documentation updates for copyright year, installation instructions, and module-specific guidance
- Build system improvements for Visual Studio and CMake configurations

Input file changes
[TBD] -- there are changes, but not listed in the changelog for some reason. Will add shortly
Known issues
There are several issues that have not been addressed in this release due to time constraints, but will be addressed in future releases. These include:
InitNodePositionsinput to HydroDyn_c-binding library interface does not currently work with any non-zeroxorycoordinates (non-zerozis ok)
