ska3-aca 2025.5

This PR adds a new meta-package, ska3-aca.

The ska3-aca meta-package is a superset of the ska3-flight meta-package. There are two kinds of packages in this meta-package:

• aca packages are the ones in ska3-aca and not in ska3-flight.
• flight packages are in both ska3-aca and ska3-flight, but not all patch releases of these packages will make it into a ska3-flight release. We have discussed the possibility of flight package versions differing between flight and aca, but the exact process has not been specified.

Other scripts that might need update (found doing a grep on matlab as a proxy for special cases):

• skare3_tools/scripts/skare3_update_summary.py and skare3_tools/packages.py. These scripts keep track of the versions in flight and matlab. We could add aca. If we do this, we could then change the package dashboard to show it.
• .github/workflows/build_release.yml. No changes required unless we want to automatically run regression tests on ska3-aca. This build script runs regression tests after installing ska3-flight if it is being built, otherwise it will install ska3-matlab if it is built.

Interface Impacts:

Testing:

These are tests on RC5, before kadi's PR sot/kadi/pull/360, which fixes the kadi failure. In this batch of tests, find_attitude failed until I found out that the distances file was wrong. The other failure is an http failure. All these should be solved now, but I have not run these tests. RC6 tests should be equivalent to the tests in #1551

All operations critical or impacting PR's are independently and carefully reviewed. For other PR's the level of detail for review is calibrated to operations criticality. Some PR's that are confined to aspect-team-specific processing may have little to no independent review.
