    Eulation for XrDriver endpoints

- added helper methods to copy/update grpc messages: config_rules, constraints, endpoint_ids, service_ids
-  extended Context ConstraintModel to support different types of constraints
- extended EndpointModel with get_endpoint helper method
- extended SliceModel to incorporate config rules

- common.tools.timestamp.Converters

- Arranged commit before merge
- Replaced string-based timestamps by context.Timestamp
- Created helper functions to convert timestamps string from/to float
- Arranged requirements to meet dependencies of converter functions

- Arranged .gitignore & .gitkeep files in common proto folder
- Created specific run_tests_locally script for Context component
- Moved imports from *.proto folder to common.proto folder
- Adapted common.tools.object_factory to new proto definitions for ConfigRule and Constraint
- Extended common.tools.type_checkers to new proto definitions for ConfigRule and Constraint
- Removed context's genproto.sh script
- Adapted Events generated to new timestamp data type
- Minor code and linting fixing

- improved object factory tools for links

- not functiona, just skeleton to generate the demo paper.
- logic for disjoint paths to be implemented

- initial skeleton (not functional)

- added helper methods to object_factory

- defined unified constants for all micro-services
- defined common settings getter methods
- defined generic gRPC servicer
- defined generic Rest servicer
- defined common MockServicer for Monitoring component
- removed old common/tests MockService class; to be replaced by new generic gRPC servicer

new development of microwave device - implemented the Api to get configurations, create and delete services

- Complete rework of Database API
- Integration of Database API into Context
- Improvement of API

This commit is not a final implementation, just an intermediate backup.

Minor changes to prevent errors in GitLab CI pipeline. Still partial implementation of "slice" component skeleton.

- Initial (unfinished) version of Slice component
- Factorized and improved check methods from "device" and "service" components to align with "slice" component

Common / Context / Device / Service:
- Improvements in unitary testing
- Extended assertion validators tor testing
- Factorized service implementation code to improve testability, reusability and increase code coverage

Factorization of code between services and minor unitary testing improvements. (Not finished, it is just a backup)
