Features

- A sync with mirror=True will automatically create a publication using the existing metadata downloaded from the original repo, keeping the repository signature intact.
[6353](https://pulp.plan.io/issues/6353)
- Allow the checksum types for packages and metadata to be unspecified, and intelligently decide which ones to use based on context if so.
[8722](https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8722)
- Auto-publish no longer modifies distributions.
Auto-distribute now only requires setting a distribution's `repository` field.
