Version Request 5.6.0

Dear all,

we (Thomas Nagel, me) would like to release a new version 5.6.0 including the following major changes and bug fixes. If there are no objections, we will update trunk and announce the version in a few days.
Since we added a new process "TES", which is a thermal equilibrium variant of the already existing TNEQ, the new OGS release will have version number 5.6.0 and not 5.5.8.

List of changes (github-PR#, committer, PR-description)

Dear all,

I'm going to prepare the next OGS release (5.6.0) now. Please do not
change trunk until the release is done. I'll inform you about that.

Best regards,
Christoph
