Release of OMERO.server 5.6.6

Today we are releasing OMERO.server 5.6.6 which includes:

• a new property omero.qa.feedback to configure the QA system the feedback is submitted to.
• the option for omero.server.nodedescriptors to be queried from a client.
• an enhancement of the Java Command line importer developer user experience
