Changelog: slk_helpers v1.7.1

All Fixes and new features

• new commands: job_exists, job_status, job_queue

• group_files_by_tape / gfbt (and tape_status):

  • modified structure of the output

  • new tape status ERRORSTATE when the tape is in a bad state which needs intervention from the support

• hsm2json:

  • accepts a file list (same as slk_helpers gen_file_query)

  • a search id can be provided via --search-id instead of a file(list) => same as group_files_by_tape

• hsm2json, gen_file_query, group_files_by_tape, gfbt: throws an error if a namespace is provided and -R is not set

• increased timeout for the time to establish a connection

• minor restructuring of the code
