* The command is necessary as long as all Edgehog repositories are
private

* Each CPU processor is suggested to have a different sstate-cache folder
* The 'downloads' folder remains unique for all edgehog projects

* For Edgehog embedded images the fs was not deployed and so a fix was
necessary

* This is necessary to guarantee write access to edgehog folder in build
server containing sstate and downloads caches
* Move env initizialization to .initenv
* Reduce build artifacts expiration time to 1 week

* Insert in the local.conf the reference to a common sstate and
downloads folder containing the sstate-cache and downloads to speed up
Yocto build (see https://www.thegoodpenguin.co.uk/blog/improving-yocto-build-time/)
* The folders are loaded as volume in the Docker image by the dedicated
runner

* The artifacts from the weekly release are deployed in an Azure folder
referring to the week of the year
* Change name of the job and link report so that they refer to the
IMAGE_NAME variable insead of RECIPE_NAME
* Full edgehog image is now built as the other on a weekly schedule
* Fix on link report for Apollo Lake products

* The filesystem artifact name now match the image name
* Fix on artifacts name from build and deploy stage

* Insert further variable inheritance for edgehog-embedded jobs
* Insert echo messages for debug

* Fix also on artifacts name construction

* The fix introduce the RECIPE_NAME variable in the job/link log name,
necessary when compiling also embedded distro

* Change "edgehog-base-image" label to "edgehog-things-image" one
* Fix on intel_apl config file
* Fix on AZURE_PATH variable (the edgehog folder is necessary
for the public container release)

* Insert edgehog embedded build/deploy for base and full image for supported
boards
* Full image shall be built only when a tag occurs
* Remove c43 and c26 config files (not yet supported)
* Fix on Link_report.txt

* Change all occurrencies of 'kirkstone/develop' with 'kirkstone' due
to master branch rename
* Update documentation references accordingly
* Changelog script loops over MR opened both to 'kirkstone/develop' and
'kirkstone' branch
* Minor fix in notify job

* Add intel_apl support inside main .yml file
* Include changelog.md file inside the notify (the file is both uploaded

* Insert release stage allowing to create a GitLab release when a tag is
created containing all the links to access built artifacts and changelog

* Modify script for changelog generation
* Insert job to create changelog for testing purpose

Merge branch 'manifest_branch_fix' of git.seco.com:yocto_ng/infrastructure/gitlab-ci into manifest_branch_fix

* This variable allows to define the branch that is used for the
manifest build (the master one on schedule/tag or the integration one on
upstream pipeline trigger)
