Release 0.15.1

Aer 0.15.1 is a bugfix release to Aer 0.15.

Bug fixes

• add truncation to save_expval operation to minimize memory requirements
• Fix memory estimator for MPS

For backward compatibilities, we reverted the following features

• Add open_pulse entry to AerBackendConfiguration
• Revert NoiseModel.from_dict
  However these features are deprecated and we will remove again in the future release

Release 0.15
