Zebra 1.0.0-rc.8

Zebra 1.0.0-rc.8 - 2023-05-10

Starting in this release, Zebra has implemented an "end of support" halt. Just like zcashd, the zebrad binary will stop running 16 weeks after the last release date.
Also, this release adds the ZIP-317 rules to mempool transactions which should help with the Zcash network spam issue.
