Library Updates

Craft Parts

• Add Maven plugin
• Fix lifecycle work directory cleaning
• Make stage package tracking optional
• Improve missing local source error message

Craft Providers

• Disable automatic snap refreshes inside instances
• LXD instances launch from a cached base instance rather than a base image. This reduces disk usage and launch time.
• For the LXD launch function launched_environment, the parameter use_snapshots has been replaced by use_base_instance. use_snapshots still works but logs a deprecation notice.
• Expire and recreate base instances older than 3 months (90 days)
• Check for network connectivity after network-related commands fails
• Set LXD id maps after launching or copying an instance
• Raise BaseConfigurationError for snap refresh failures
• Check LXD id map before starting an existing instance. If the id map does not match, the instance will be auto cleaned or an error will be raised.
