Restructure scripts in policy-parent

- Moved the scripts into src/main/scripts
- created src/main/resources
- added pf_release_data.csv to src/main/resources, this file will be
- added a n ew release phase to release the mdoels-simulator image

pf_release_data.sh:
Used to find the correct versions of images to use for the CSIT tests,
the current lookup scripts can't cope with snapshots being deleted after
they time out.
