SciServer Betelgeuse v2.0.1

This release publishes the latest versions of the SciScript libraries for both Python and R.

It also adds two new Compute Images – one for the LSST Science Pipeline and one for the Recount genomics project – and updates the Matlab image used in the turbulence and oceanography science cases.

New controls in the Dashboard allow for easier management of files, groups, and user volumes.
