Flyte 1.5.1 Patch Release

This is a patch release that only contains one change - flyteorg/flyteadmin#560
which cherry-picks flyteorg/flyteadmin#554.

PR #554 adds a migration that remediates an issue that we discovered with very old installations of Flyte. Basically one of the tables node_executions has a self-referencing foreign key. The main id column of the table is a bigint whereas the self-foreign-key parent_id was an int. This was a rooted in an early version of gorm and should not affect most users. Out of an abundance of caution however, we are adding a migration to patch this issue in a manner that minimizes any locking.

To Deploy

When you deploy this release of Flyte, you should make sure that you have more than one pod for Admin running. (If you are running the flyte-binary helm chart, this patch release does not apply to you at all. All those deployments should already have the correct column type.) When the two new migrations that #554 added runs, the first one may take an extended period of time (hours). However, this is entirely non-blocking as long as there is another Admin instance available to serve traffic.

The second migration is locking, but even on very large tables, this migration was over in ~5 seconds, so you should not see any noticeable downtime whatsoever.

The migration will also check to see that your database falls into this category before running (ie, the parent_id and the id columns in node_executions are mismatched). You can also do check this yourself using psql. If this migration is not needed, the migration will simply mark itself as complete and be a no-op otherwise.
