- Added definition of algorithm in proto file
- Minor code comments and TODOs added

- extended proto file to support retrieval of both services and connections, e.g., services requested + sub-services, and the connections and sub-connections supporting the services and sub-services.
- minor bug fixings in MockServicerImpl_Context and implementation of support for Slices
- implemented and pre-tested unitary tests for PathComp
- implemented in PathComp service the logic to retrieve context data, and the skeleton to retrieve the replies to compute requests.

- initial skeleton (not functional)

Updated gRPC proto files to prevent trouble with KPI sample types in devices, also updated files related to this issue.

Deactivated some Device monitoring functionality partially implemented to enable a functional commit into develop.

Device:
- Implemented Driver API with some special resources to enable retrieving endpoints from devices, interfaces, and network instances.
- Implemented special resource_keys (_connect/*) to enable AddDevice to obtain settings used to connect to remote devices (address, port, username, password, etc.)
- Implemented Emulated Driver (only for testing)
- Implemented OpenConfig Driver (missing to implement monitoring; templates for Infinera devices to be tested with other device vendors)
- Minor bugs and code improvements
- Improved test unit to enable easy testing of vendor devices and keep credentials secret.

Policy component's protobufs are updated based upon
the Event Condition Action (ECA) model.
Minor fixes are applied to the slice.proto in order
to compile.

- Corrections in Service to prevent errors in GitLab CI/CD pipeline.
- Minor improvements in random classes.

Common:
- added ORM helper function get_related_instances
- minor modifications in ORM framework

Proto:
- field/message/enum renamings in context.proto to normalize notation

Context:
- Expanded service/database/Models.py into separate models to facilitate coding
- Completed implementation of Get/Set/List/Remove methods for Context, Topology, Device, Link, and EndPoint; also completed for relation models between topology and device/link, and ConfigModels
- Implemented test units for Get/Set/List/Remove methods for Context, Topology, Device, Link, and EndPoint
- Implemented skeleton for Get/Set/List/Remove methods for Service.
- Added Tools.py with helper methods to fimplify handling of enums between ORM and gRPC messages.

Proto:
- Minor corrections in context.proto

Common:
- Minor corrections in common.orm.backend
- Improved definition of orm.Model class with get_instances and get_references
- Extended ORM unitary tests with get_instances and get_references

Context:
- Implemented missing methods in ContextClient
- Started to implement new Context data models using ORM.
- ContextModel functional using ORM and gRPC.
- Arranged old code file placing

- Context Database API and ORM rework in progress

- 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.

Fix renaming of compute.proto methods from snake-case to camel-case. Added minor naming improvements.

Common:
- minor bug resolutions in Context API

Service:
- first functional version of Service (implementation of GetConnectionList postponed)
- minor corrections in service.proto and related files
- implemented unitary tests

Common:
- Improvements in Database API definition and unit tests
- Implemented additional Assertions to be used by unitary tests

Context and Device:
- Improved logging of errors.

Service:
- Implemented service methods (except GetConnectionList). All methods are under active debug.
- Partially implemented unitary tests

General changes:
- implemented data type checker class
- improved database Entity/Collection/Attributes API
- implemented grpc message parsing assertions
- integrated code coverage analyzer and reporter with code testers
- added example topology NSFNET

Common to device & context services:
- improved database context API and its tests

Context service:
- updated context proto file: added AddLink/DeleteLink RPCs, added LinkId to Link
- minor changes

Device service:
- implemented device service functionality
- improved device client
- updated genproto script
- updated device proto file: configure request becomes a Device message
- updated context proto file: operational status: added KEEP_STATUS, changed DISABLED
- moved device tests to global scripts
- extended unitary tests
- temporarily disabled integration tests
