New SW releases because of new Allogg blood sampler

New Allogg ABBS (automatic blood sampling system) has a different file format and its own calibration constants. Therefore the programs and scripts that process ABSS data files need to be updated. At the moment, program blo2kbq is updated to version 3.8.0, and all scripts using blo2kbq should be updated to call this version.

Scripts that are already updated are:
water_input.vbs
PK11195_input.vbs
TMSX_input.vbs
DEP-D_input.vbs
