Release N.1.7.1.0

Arweave node release N.1.7.1.0 is out!

New features
   1. Gateway

      The gateway is a separate HTTP listener with TLS support that
      improves on how content hosted on the permaweb is served to web
      browsers. It's disabled by default. Here are the key features:

         * Listens on the standard HTTP and HTTPS ports.
         * Serve pages from isolated origins to allow browsers to
           properly sandbox each page's local data such as cookies,
           and make these inaccessible to other pages hosted on the
           same gateway.
         * Supports custom domain names with HTTPS, in other words,
           map domain names to pages on the Permaweb.

      Don't hesitate to reach out for help setting up a gateway.

   2. Stricter checks of blocks as soon as they are received from the
      network.

Bug fixes

   1. Crash when a malformed ARQL query is received.

   2. Invalid default value for disk_space if not specified by the
      user.

Upgrade instructions

   1. Shut down arweave-server. To make sure the shutdown was
      successful, run `ps aux | grep beam | grep -v grep`. The output
      should be empty.

   2. Run `git fetch --all --tags && git checkout N.1.7.1.0 && git
      reset --hard N.1.7.1.0`

   3. Start arweave-server again with the same arguments as before.
