🔒 Upgraded cryptography version to 3.2 to avoid CVE-2020-25659 (security) #5095
👷 Converted most CI jobs from Travis to GitHub Actions (all except Integration tests).

Contributed by @nmaludy, @winem, and @blag

⚡️ Updated cryptography dependency to version 3.3.2 to avoid CVE-2020-36242 (security) #5151
⚡️ Update most of the code in the StackStorm API and services layer to utilize orjson library for serializing and de-serializing json.

That should result in better json serialization and deserialization performance.

The change should be fully backward compatible, only difference is that API JSON responses now won't be indented using 4 spaces by default (indenting adds unnecessary overhead and if needed, the response can be pretty formatted on the client side using jq or similar). (improvement) #5153

🛠 Fixed


* 📌 Pin chardet version as newest version was incompatible with pinned requests version #5101
  Contributed by @amanda11

* 🛠 Fixed issue were st2tests was not getting installed using pip because no version was specified.
  Contributed by @anirudhbagri

* ➕ Added monkey patch fix to st2stream to enable it to work with mongodb via SSL. (bug fix) #5078 #5091

* 🛠 Fix nginx buffering long polling stream to client.  Instead of waiting for closed connection
  wait for final event to be sent to client. (bug fix) #4842  #5042

  Contributed by @guzzijones

* StackStorm now explicitly decodes pack files as utf-8 instead of implicitly as ascii (bug fix)
  #5106, #5107

* 🛠 Fix incorrect array parameter value casting when executing action via chatops or using
  ``POST /aliasexecution/match_and_execute`` API endpoint. The code would incorrectly assume the
  value is always a string, but that may not be the cast - they value could already be a list and
  in this case we don't want any casting to be performed. (bug fix) #5141

  Contributed by @Kami.

* 🛠 Fix ``@parameter_name=/path/to/file/foo.json`` notation in the ``st2 run`` command which didn't
  work correctly because it didn't convert read bytes to string / unicode type. (bug fix) #5140

  Contributed by @Kami.

* 🛠 Fix broken ``st2 action-alias execute`` command and make sure it works
  correctly. (bug fix) #5138
