What to consider when upgrading from series 10 to series 11 of rcc?

Major version break between rcc 10 and 11 was about removing the old base/live way of managing environments (rcc environment ... commands). That had some visible changes in rcc commands used. Here is a summary of those changes.

• Compared to base/live based management of environments, holotree needs a different mindset to work with. With the new holotree, users decide which processes share the same working space and which receive their own space. So, high level management of logical spaces has shifted from rcc to user (or tools), where in base/live users did not have the option to do so. Low level management is still rcc responsibility and based on "conda.yaml" content.
• All rcc environment commands were removed or renamed, since this was an old way of doing things.
• Old rcc env hash was renamed to rcc holotree hash and changed to show holotree blueprint hash.
• Old rcc env plan was renamed to rcc holotree plan and changed to show plan from given holotree space.
• Old rcc env cleanup was renamed to rcc configuration cleanup and changed to work in a way that only holotree things are valid from now on. This means that if you are using rcc conf cleanup, check help for changed flags also.
• In general, the old --stage flag is gone, since it was base/live specific.
• Holotree related commands, including various run commands, now have default values for the --space flag. So if no --space flag is given, that defaults to user value, and the same space will be updated based on requested environment specification.
• Output of some commands have changed, for example there are now more "Progress" steps in rcc output.

v11.1.5 (date: 24.9.2021)

• bugfix: performance profiling revealed bottleneck in windows, where calling stat is expensive, so here is try to limit using it uneccessarily

v11.1.4 (date: 23.9.2021)

• bugfix: adding concurrencty to catalog check
• performance profiling revealed bottleneck, where ensuring directory exist was called too often, so now base directories are ensured only once per rcc invocation
• adding more structure to timeline printout by indentation of blocks
