Yet another final Cylc 7 maintenance release!

Cylc-7.9.2 and Cylc-7.8.7 are now [available from GitHub](https://github.com/cylc/cylc-flow/releases).

7.9.2 is just 7.8.7 with the bundled Jinja2 version upgraded to 2.11.1, which allows us to report the right line number for all Jinja2 errors. 7.9.2 requires Python 2.7; use 7.8.7 if stuck on Python 2.6. (Don’t worry, Cylc 8 for Python 3 and web tech is well on the way).

Selected changes:

- **support Slurm heterogeneous jobs** (see the Slurm section in the User Guide)
- **fix** frequent writes to a DB table, to correct last-updated timestamps in cylc review and reduce filesystem load
- **fix** a bug in auto-restart (scheduler migration) which caused suites to wait unnecessarily for local jobs on other hosts before restarting
- **fix** a bug in the GUI tree view that could cause tasks to be sorted in the wrong order
