[Testnet] v0.8.1-rc

Important Changes

• Enables protocol version 2 on all networks.
  • Slashed validator rewards do not get redistributed but are burnt during epoch change.
  • Internal computation of SystemEpochInfoEventV1 fixed, no changes in fields.
• Genesis creation accepts an optional address_swap_map.csv file, which may be empty but has to contain the correct headers. iota-genesis-builder supports a new flag, --address-swap-map-path.
• Adds back support for metrics pushing to our metrics infrastructure

❗❗❗🚨 ⚠️ Attention Validators ⚠️ 🚨❗❗❗

• To enable metrics gathering on Testnet, add the following section to the validator.yaml files before restarting the node for updating:

metrics:
  push-interval-seconds: 60
  push-url: https://metrics-proxy.testnet.iota.cafe:8443/publish/metrics
