sw360-8.0.0-M1

It is not really that we like to ignore minor releases, but release 8 is coming because:

• changes in the DB for external id handling, pls see migration script: scripts/migrations/016_update_byExternalIds_component_view.py
• changes in the Thrift API, allowing for SPDX BOM import pls see: libraries/lib-datahandler/src/main/thrift/projects.thrift

And as a larger, very important feature, there is the SPDX BOM import there in a first version, adding two modes:

• Import a project with linked releases from a SPDX BOM file
• Import a list of components and releases from a SPDX BOM file

Moreover a very important feature or fix has been provided for ensuring that malformed REST requests do not lead to failure in the application. Previously, providing wrong typed references (for example: linking releases to a project) was accepted by the application and can lead to malfunction then. The following list lists the detailed changes since 7.0.1:
