Making MBSE quicker with profile support for IBM Rational Rhapsody: 4.2.n.Rhp831.PreRelease (17-AUG-2023)

Improved richness in remote requirement/DOORS NG workflows.

Now available on github. Don't forget to rename top-level folder SysMLHelper without the version number before moving into Profiles folder. Also ensure that previous profile is not just renamed but removed from Share/Profiles completely (as Rhapsody will open first filename it finds rather than the explicit path to .sbsx).

Reminder that it is a design philosophy that all the helpers provided by Executable MBSE Profile (there are 72 menu command entries in the hep file) give a dialog explaining what they do before they perform any action. This helps use of the menus for reporting as well as actuation and users can invoke the menus with less risk of unexpected changes.
