UDI for v9 viewer

The UDI displayed in the viewer details panel has been set to 0086699400025590.

Baseline viewer code base on v8.0

The baseline code base for version 9.0 viewer is viewer-8.0.85, desktopApp-8.0.31 and plugins-8.0.8 and includes the new (v9) caching mechanism (cache into memory, only), optimized image loading and only hyper+ streaming support.

Remove settings for retired features

All configurable settings and visible indications for and about retired features have been removed, including prefetch settings, cache management settings and HTTP-based streaming settings.

Series matching algorithm performance improvement

The series matching feature used by the hanging protocol manager and for series grouping has been optimized for performance, removing unnecessary calculations as well.

Server provided stream server addresses

The viewer uses the stream server assigned by the server when streaming data during the session. If no stream server is provided, the viewer uses the server that sent the session (PBS) data.
