Code Review

This pull request adds release notes for version 1.71.0, detailing enhancements to the artifact plugin regarding package listing and installation verification, and a fix for beakerlib cache handling in 'tmt try'. A suggestion was made to improve the conciseness of the cache fix description by removing redundant phrasing.

Just one consistency suggestion.
