- add an 'ignore_empty_releases' to exclude empty releases (which are future releases for Debian),
- improve logging,
- add the 'YYYY-mm' month_year date format.
- Add strict typing to the fields. This makes the script fail if some column does not have the expected type (for example because of a change in the HTML page).
- Support regex and templating for all fields (not only the releaseCycle). This make it possible to extract only the necessary information without having to do some sort of 'magic' cleanup (replacements in dates have been reverted).
- Do not inject 'releaseCycle' anymore in the JSON (there is already the name).
This makes the format open for extension, such as adding release cycle level data (such as EOL dates).
Version data is still accessible by the version's name. While this repeats the version name, it's also much more convenient for users of those data.
A few other things have also been updated in the process:
- verbosity of the diff has been increased in update.py to make workflow summaries more readable,
- dates without timezone are now set to UTC by default (this was already supposed, so no impact expected here).
Make the script more readable, mostly by:
- using the endoflife.Product class,
- removing the unnecessary use of functions,
- a little bit of renaming.

This will be useful in future PRs:
- add a few more supported formats,
- cleanup string so that we don't have to deal with some special characters in formats.
Create common functions parse_date, parse_month_year_date and parse_datetime.
Those functions support trying multiple formats, and come with default formats lists that support most of the date format encountered so far.
Notable change: year-month dates are now set to the end of month (impacted couchbase-server and ibm-aix).
