Robot OS v1.7.0 and v1.7.1: Software 4.2.0, compatibility with OT-2 refresh

Adds full compatibility for OT-2 refresh, including RTC support and a systemd unit for driving the status LEDs on the electronics housing.

---

v1.7.1 is a special release created on 2022-08-09 to help fix problems at our factory, which has been using v1.7.0.

v1.7.1 is identical to v1.7.0, except for the following changes, which are all backported from more recent releases.

These fix build problems so our modern CI environments can build v1.7.1:

• fix(buildroot): disallow capital letters in image names by automatically converting to lowercase
• chore: Pin Docker to Debian 10 to work around out-of-date Buildroot
• chore(opentrons-build): fix build script if no env vars imported
• build: fix datadog env var and exit codes

And this fixes the problems at the factory:

• board/opentrons/ot2: Work around RV-3028 problems via artificial delay

See the Git tag v1.7.1.

We can't currently create a separate GitHub release for v1.7.1 because it will interfere with CI/CD scripts that look for the "latest" GitHub release.

Robot OS v1.6.0: Software 4.2.0

• Bumps wpa_supplicant to 2.9, which should fix issues with 802.11 fast roaming
• Stabilizes the machine-id for freshly-flashed machine

Robot OS v1.5.0: Software 4.1.0

Robot OS v1.5.0 ships with Robot Software 4.1.0.

It adds preliminary support for upcoming hardware revisions, including a new service for managing status LEDs.
It also adds support for upcoming software changes, like adding a new notifications server based on zmq (which does not currently have any functionality).

Finally, in synch with https://github.com/opentrons/opentrons, it bumps pyserial to 3.5 to allow better functionality for testing on OSX Big Sur.
