Data Virtuality Platform 2.4.21: Small, but nice release

This release brings forth several important improvements and bug fixes. The Server now includes Windows ODBC driver version 22.01 and a logger for SSH tunnels which can be used for debugging. We have also made permissions session-independent, meaning that permissions are now applied to both newly created and already existing sessions. And we have fixed several bugs affecting the Server: the TIMESTAMPDIFF and TIMESTAMPADD functions will now work correctly for Snowflake, calls to REST API are now more efficient and do not cause the OutOfMemoryException, and when a file targeted by a UTILS.csvExport procedure is used by another process, you will get the correct error message.

On the Studio side, we have changed the delimiter for tab-separated file format in the CSV query builder to the correct one, and for the Exporter, we have fixed a bug causing exporting JBoss settings from 2.4.21 to 2.4.22 to fail.

Last but not least, two connectors got nice upgrades: we have updated the Facebook connector to API v13.0 and refactored the LinkedIn connector for improved performance and compliance with the new LinkedIn APIs.
