Bump version to 7.1.0

[ChristophWurst]

The last major was v7.0.0 and I see there is a stable7, so I assume master changes are going to be released as either 7.1 or 8.0 depending on whether we have breaking changes.

Who created the stable7 branch?

Who created the stable7 branch?

That was me, after discussion in the fontenders room. But I'm a naive novice 😬 So I'm totally fine with removing the branch and continuing 7.0 development in master.

Well, no worries, just wondering if there is a underlying motive 😝

We never did that in this repo. I am much more in favour of keeping this one as 7.x.x until 8.x.x as usual.
Otherwise it's just duplicating all the mess with backports etc etc

Okay but while we are here, what if we bump to 7.1 and release this shiny new component #3369?

Yep, let's do that. Unfortunately I lack the permissions to delete the protected branch stable7, so could someone with super powers do that?

Okay then we don't release the component.

@ChristophWurst we will, we just never preemptively bumped versions on master before releasing.
Anyway, 7.1.0 it is! 🚀
