Hello everyone,

it's been almost four months since we have had a drop of MRI fixes into
stable/neon. Not that there weren't any, there have been intermediate
releases, but there was no time to integrate them.

Given where we are in other release trains (Sodium: frozen for SR1,
Magnesium: stabilizing CSIT), now is a good time to refresh things.

Overall, this bump brings in significant fixes, including
security-related bumps of upstream artifacts.

There are two breaking changes here:

1) mina-sshd is bumped to 2.3.0, which requires a minor update to netconf

2) YANGTOOLS-857 means yangtools now detects previously-glossed-over
errors in YANG usage. This affects OFP and BGPCEP. OFP has the
corresponding patch here:
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/c/openflowplugin/+/85272. BGPCEP has
two patches, both of which are already merged.

The changes in this bump will be mirrored to stable/sodium (once SR1 is
out) and magnesium (once we have reasonably-stable CSIT).

I have prepared patches here:
https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/q/topic:mri-neon-sr3

Successful multipatch build is here:
https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/releng/view/integration/job/integration-multipatch-test-neon/195/

CSIT multipatch buil is (still running) here:
https://jenkins.opendaylight.org/releng/view/integration/job/integration-multipatch-test-neon/197/

Unless there are objections (or unexpected CSIT failures), I would like
to merge these changes on Friday.

Regards,
Robert
