Seed 0.8.0

[MartinKavik]

I want to release Seed 0.8.0, because:

• There are many improvements in the changelog and the latest Seed version is quite old.
• I think it will be the most stable and feature-complete version so far.
• Seed will be ready for next breaking changes / improvements. Possible options are:
  • Better routing/url
  • Better and final element macros API
  • Better error handling
  • Trunk integration
  • Styles and Hooks integration

Notes:

• Related PR - Release 0.8.0 #550
• https://seed-rs.org/ is updated and 0.8.0 is the default one already - we only have to change Soon to a real date once released.

@David-OConnor : Could you release it? Everything should be ready.
