- Moved old code to separate folder (will be removed in future commit when development is completed)
- Solved bug with Link-EndPoint retrieval
- Implemented ServiceModel and related unit tests
- Moved helper methods to Tools.py file in database

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 initial skeleton of MessageBroker to implement GetEvents methods for Context.

Context:
- Implemented TopologyModel and related test units

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

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

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

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

Common:
- reorganized Database API to enable extension of Context API with entities (e.g. Service)
- solved minor bugs in Database API

Context and Device services:
- rearranged services and unit tests according to mentioned Context API changes

Service service:
- initial release (under development, this is just a backup of code)

Common:
- renamed report_coverage.sh script to report_coverage_all.sh

Common/DatabaseAPI:
- improved root class validations and test units
- added _RootEntity interface
- improved definition of Context database API entities

Context service:
- added AddLink/DeleteLink rpc methods
- temporarily disabled integration tests

Device service:
- applied renamings in service and test units

Common:
- implemented ServiceException class
- updated attributes in entities belonging to Database API
- implemented test method to populate database with example topology

Context service:

This reverts merge request !3

Move database to common folder, since it will be used also by device service, and implement very minor changes.
