RAVEN 2.9.3

[edkerk]

Main improvements in this PR:

• fix:
  • ravenCobraWrapper handle empty rxnReferences from COBRA => RAVEN
  • replaceMets should not contract the whole model, only for the replaced metabolites
  • getBlast can handle paths containing spaces, or makes a custom temp path if required (solves Blast+ in RAVEN #506)
  • importModel with empty confidenceScores entries
  • constructS avoid warning about "Colon operands must be real scalars"
  • randomSampling should output the solutions as full matrix, as sparse matrices occassionally acts weird when using functions like mean
• feature:
  • getIndexes supports ecenzymes, ecrxns and ecgenes types, to query GECKO3 model.ec fields
• refactor:
  • speedup readYAMLmodel
• docs
  • update badges and refer to GitHub Discussions instead of Gitter
