Cloud-init release 23.1 is now available

The 23.1 release:

Highlights:

Behavior changes:

 - cc_ca_certs: write certificates as individual files

 - cc_set_hostname: ignore /var/lib/cloud/data/set-hostname if it's empty
 - cc_ssh: support multiple hostcertificates
 - cc_write_files: set ownership for new folders
 - cli/schema: also validate vendordata
 - machine-id: set to uninitialized to trigger regeneration on clones
 - sources/azure: fix device driver matching for net config
 - network/netplan:
   - keep custom strict perms when 50-cloud-init.yaml exists
