[TRNSPRTPCE-336] Prepare Al SR1 release

Fri, 3 Sep 2021 13:33:54 +0000

Prepare the Aluminium SR1 release
( device model 7.1 support may be needed for flexgrid since manufacturer devices don't propose it with previous versions - it can be integrated with SR2)

This means to:

cherry-pick related bug corrections from master
update project version in poms
update dependencies if needed (mostly odlparent versions)
https://docs.opendaylight.org/projects/integration-distribution/en/stable-aluminium/platform-versions.html
update others environment parameters e.g. for lighty.io and tox if needed (normally not)

Once that done, the release must be staged in Jenkins and then officially released using the self-service process

https://docs.opendaylight.org/en/stable-aluminium/release-process/project-release.html

This last task can only be performed when all upstreams dep are ready i.e. when all managed projects have been released (prevision date 10/30/2020).
The deadline is one week after all managed projects have been released.

Evaluation indicators:

cherry-picks from master done
magnesium stage release job OK in Jenkins
tpce artifacts published on nexus
