Important Changes

• YARP is now automatically installed with the RPATH enabled.
  This can be disabled by setting the CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH or
  CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH variables.
• The portmonitor can now be built without LUA and uses YARP plugins system
  of having to locate the shared libraries manually.
• The yarp::dev::IDepthSensor, yarp::dev::IRGBDSensor interfaces and the
  RGBDSensorClient and RGBDSensorWrapper devices were erroneously introduced
  as a "stable", but they are still under development and therefore are not to
  be used, and will be removed in the next tweak release (v2.3.65.1).
  They will be probably re-introduced in the next stable release series
  (v2.3.68).
