17.0.0

Major SDK release that adds support for Stories, In-App experiences downstream of a sequence in Journeys, and improves SDK auth.

This release brings several breaking changes throughout the codebase as we continue the transition from Objective-C to Swift, and as we start adopting structured concurrency.

The Airship SDK now requires iOS 14+ as the minimum deployment version and Xcode 14.3+
