Created RCG tag-2.8.2, prebuilt models in preparation for tomorrow's upgrade

In preparation for tomorrows RCG upgrade from tag-2.8 to tag-2.8.2 I have created a build area for tag-2.8.2. All release pointers now refer to 2.8.2.

I have pre-compiled all user models against tag-2.8.2. All models compiled except for h1susim and h1sushtts, which were expected to fail. These two systems will stay back at 2.8.

I ran the systems through my slow channel configuration checker script (/opt/rtcds/userapps/release/cds/common/scripts/slow_chan_config_checker.py) and they all passed. This means there no mismatches between the slow channel order defined on the front end and that used by the DAQ via the model's INI file.

Tomorrow morning we will do the final make-install and restart all models. (h1susim and h1sushtts will be restarted but will run the 2.8 code).

This will give us another data point in how quickly the PSL recovers from a front end shutdown.
