LocalStack release 0.13.1

Announcements

• Upcoming breaking change: This version introduces the LEGACY_PERSISTENCE config, which determines whether the legacy persistence mechanism (based on API calls record&replay) should be used. Currently still defaults to LEGACY_PERSISTENCE=1, but the logic will be disabled by default and may get removed entirely in a future release. (Please note: this is only affecting the legacy persistence in Community - if you're using the Pro version, you can ignore this message.)
