Bump version and changelogs to 2023.1.2

[Yadunund]

Once this is merged, I can tag master as 2023.1.2 and bloom a new release into Rolling to unblock the sync.

Note: There were over 10 commits between the last released version and master so hoping there are no new regressions 🤞🏼

Unfortunately, the required ROS2 tests / industrial_ci (main, humble) is failing consistently, although the same test passes on rolling (but not iron where it fails as well). Can you look into it?

Hi @omichel ,

I don't think changes in this PR could cause new CI failures so the failures must have come via previously merged commits? The CI failures are due to tests failings.

I'm simply trying to get Rolling unblocked and don't have the bandwidth to fix any tests here . If it's okay with you I'd like to suggest the following:

1. We create a new rolling branch off the last know release tag 2023.1.1.
2. I cherry pick the fix for rolling into this branch and tag the latest release 2023.1.2
3. Update the tracks.yaml such that we bloom into Rolling from this new rolling branch. Currently it is set to master.
4. Bloom the patch fix from rolling branch.

We are actively working on migrating Rolling to Ubuntu 24.04 and the next Rolling sync is planned for 6th Feb as mentioned here https://discourse.ros.org/t/preparing-for-rolling-sync-2024-02-06/35882
If the issue is not resolved by then, these packages will be removed from the Buildfarm for Rolling.

I am fine with your proposal. You can go ahead.
