OFI [RM] (23 sample scripts included)

Optimal Control  (9 sample scripts included)

Needed by App Freeze.

• Write examples that demonstrate new functionality
• Clean up all errors and warnings
• Remove deprecated fields

Notes/Questions:  

1. The OFI scripts are stored in the OFI repo, not in the GMAT repo. That's because OFI is an externally maintained and managed project.When GMAT is built, e.g. the windows build machine, it copies the OFI sample scripts into latestcompleteversion. That's how those scripts will be part of the release without being in the GMAT repo.
2. The sample script file names be pre-pended with R2020a.
3. Make sure all the API Folder (and associated sub-folder) sample scripts are updated and run correctly.

Notes 8/5/2020: 

1. Sent email to Sourceforge gmat-info email list but received "this list is for project announcements only, so your message has been blocked" response. 
2. Sent email to Sourceforge gmat-users email list.  Needs Moderator approval.  DJC approved.  Message sent. 
3. Asked Paul M. to send Release announcement to 590-all. 

"Release Notes" was a bit of a hack.  I made a custom Makefile to build a draft document from the UG xml file, and then edited it for formatting and broken User Guide links.  The cover page is the R2018a cover page, with the "20" piece copied over the 18 and then the "a" shifted to the right.  This is not a recommended best practice! 

Suggestions:

• Build the text version first and then paste and edit it into the xml, avoiding the internal link issue
• Make the cover page image document available for editing.  (I suspect it's a Photoshop .psd file with layers.  Or should be.)

R2020a:  Not quite sure what is involved.  Will coordinate with SPH.

8/6/2020:  WIki changed.  SPH to investigate.  Need to find list of releases.

Go to JIRA.  Select "Projects" on LHS menu.  Then select "Releases."  Hit ...
