RavenDB upgrade

This release contains a new version of the embedded database used by Octopus. As always, we recommend taking a backup of your Octopus database immediately before upgrading. If after upgrading you have problems, you can try restoring the backup over your upgraded Octopus instance, and if that doesn't resolve the problem you can install a previous version of Octopus and restore the backup over that.

Changes in Octopus Server 1.2.3.1515

This release is the same as 1.2.3.1476, with a few clarifications in the EULA.
