v21.12 service pack 4

added release-v21.12 service-pack-discussion labels

Finish up the current service pack:

after merging patches into pmaports master or aports master, that we want to have in the service pack: either just immediately cherry-pick it to the branch (no merge request and not much code review, we'll review before releasing it), or add it as TODO checkbox to the service pack discussion issue
update the version number in the rootfs-etc-os-release file in the postmarketos-base package to add/update the service pack number after the regular branch version
shortly (~1 week) before releasing the service pack, create the merge request
- add the following labels:
  - release-vYY.MM
  - backport
- enable the checkbox to delete the branch after merge after merging the service pack:
- homepage:
  - publish a blog post with a short overview of changes
    - add one good photo at the top (when in doubt ask Martijn)
    - one bullet point with exact version and related link (usually changelog) for updated components
    - as usually, create a merge request, make sure the team sees and reviews it
  - (do not change latest_release/latest_release_title in config/download.py!)

Prepare the next service pack (right after releasing the current SP):

create a branch for the next service pack (like v21.03.1)
create a discussion issue for the next service pack, where we can write down if something is missing or if something in that branch is debatable
- add the ETA calendar week (e.g. CW 10, usually 2nd CW of the month, when in doubt ask ollie)
- add the following labels:
  - release-vYY.MM
  - service-pack-discussion
- paste the current version of this todo list from the wiki into this new issue, as separate comment
leave a comment in the current service pack discussion issue that points to the next one
close the old service pack discussion issue
update releases wiki page (move the old one to released, add the new one to planned)

Linux ODROID-HC2 has been updated to 5.16.14. This would fix the CVEs which have been patched on top of 5.15 in stable.
