v1.3.0

This version fixes issues which could have occurred when running for at least
medium-sized vmWare installations while using a DB with relatively high
latencies. We are now handing over data we fetched from your vCenter to a
dedicated subprocess, which then synchronizes batched information to your DB
task per task.

In case a task takes longer than expected, you can now spot it in your process
list. The DB process always shows its current task:

Process list - current DB task

Error Handling has been improved, making the daemon more robust, InfluxDB support
is easier to configure.

vSphereDB strongly suggests using a vmWare user with a global readonly permission,
however with this release it is now also possible to use a user who has been
granted read permissions for only a small subtree of your vCenter.

PHP 8.1 is now supported and can be used as soon as we release a related Icinga
Web 2 version.
