We need an autorelease job to verify non-SR projects (odlparent, yangtools) changes before they get released and consumed by downstream:

• A first attempt of the job could just take a version (SNAPSHOT or release) of odlparent and yangtools and bump all SR projects to use this version instead of existing release. The resulting distribution could be sent to some sanity CSIT for verification. The goal for this first version is to detect breakages before the upstream project releases. This job could run periodically.

• A second stab on the job could take a patch number for odlparent or yangtools, build the patch and do similar than first. The goal in this case is to verify an upstream patch before it is actually merged. This job could run on-demand.
