v0.8.0-rc.1

Release 0.8.0-rc.1 introduces atree inlining and deduplication, so the data format is a breaking change.

Atree inlining and deduplication is primarily in these PRs:

• Atree Register Inlining and Data Deduplication in #342
• Add readonly iterators and support value mutations only from non-readonly iterators in #345
• Reduce RAM and persistent storage by deduplicating inlined dict type info in #369

NOTE: Atree Register Inlining Project includes other work: migration (in onflow/flow-go) and integration (in onflow/cadence).
