Release 1.7.0

This release adds major new features and bugfixes since the 1.6.1 release.
We deem it moderate priority for upgrading.

This release adds the long-awaited support for PostgreSQL 12 to TimescaleDB.

This release also adds a new default behavior when querying continuous
aggregates that we call real-time aggregation. A query on a continuous
aggregate will now combine materialized data with recent data that has
yet to be materialized.

Note that only newly created continuous aggregates will have this
real-time query behavior, although it can be enabled on existing
continuous aggregates with a configuration setting as follows:

ALTER VIEW continuous_view_name SET (timescaledb.materialized_only=false);

This release also moves several data management lifecycle features
to the Community version of TimescaleDB (from Enterprise), including
data reordering and data retention policies.

**Major Features**
* #1456 Add support for PostgreSQL 12
* #1685 Add support for real-time aggregation on continuous aggregates

**Bugfixes**
* #1665 Add ignore_invalidation_older_than to timescaledb_information.continuous_aggregates view
* #1750 Handle undefined ignore_invalidation_older_than
* #1757 Restrict watermark to max for continuous aggregates
* #1769 Add rescan function to CompressChunkDml CustomScan node
* #1785 Fix last_run_success value in continuous_aggregate_stats view
* #1801 Include parallel leader in plan execution
* #1808 Fix ts_hypertable_get_all for compressed tables
* #1828 Ignore dropped chunks in compressed_chunk_stats

**Licensing changes**
* Reorder and policies around reorder and drop chunks are now
  accessible to community users, not just enterprise
* Gapfill functionality no longer warns about expired license

**Thanks**

* @t0k4rt for reporting an issue with parallel chunk append plans
* @alxndrdude for reporting an issue when trying to insert into compressed chunks
* @Olernov for reporting and fixing an issue with show_chunks and drop_chunks for compressed hypertables
* @mjb512 for reporting an issue with INSERTs in CTEs in cached plans
* @dmarsh19 for reporting and fixing an issue with dropped chunks in compressed_chunk_stats
