• Add ament_cmake_gen_version_h to rootfs and sysroot
• Towards 1.0.0, initial firmware updates

⚠️ Additional release notes ⚠️

• Relevant performance issues detected with Vitis 2022.1 in comparison to Vitis 2021.2, some examples include
  • faster_doublevadd_publisher is not able to place&route due to timing issues (whereas it happens just fine with 2021.2)
  • (with the same code) Vitis Vision Library accelerators (e.g. resize and remap) lower their performance significantly
• Emulation targets (sw_emu, hw_emu) not enabled into KRS 1.0 CLI tooling ¹.
• PREEMPT_RT patches and related artifacts (kernel, drivers, etc.) not included into KRS 1.0 firmware artifacts ¹.
• Xen hypervisor enablement not included into KRS 1.0 firmware artifacts ¹.
• LTTng included into Yocto's rootfs and it can be invoked via CLI (lttng <verb>) however no ROS 2 CLI enablement is included in this firmware artifacts release ¹.
• device tree blob overlays for accelerators built with Vitis 2022.1 are different from the ones with Vitis 2021.2.
