DATACMNS-425 - Release version 1.7.0.RC1.
DATACMNS-425 - Prepare next development iteration.
DATACMNS-432 - ConcurrentModificationException in Repositories.getRepoInfoFor.

Prepare issue branch.
DATACMNS-432 - Make Repositories effectively immutable.

We now eagerly populate the repository factory information in Repositories to  provide a read only view on the discovered repository information. Previously lookup operations could also change some maps that held information about the until then discovered repository meta data which could lead to ConcurrentModifcationExceptions in multi-threaded environments. Since we don't allow any modification after construction this won't happen anymore.
We also cache the computed RepositoryMetadata in RepositoryFactoryBeanSupport.
