8.0.0

This release adds encryption and pairing, and needs Music Assistant 2.10 or newer.

After upgrading:

• Each player gets a new client ID, so Music Assistant sees it as a new player. You'll need to re-add it to groups and update any Home Assistant automations that used the old one.
• Unpaired access is on by default, so Music Assistant and other servers let the player play without a PIN. To require pairing before playing, start the player with --unpaired-access false.
• --id is removed, so take it out of any service file or the player won't start. To run multiple players on one machine, give each one its own --settings-dir instead.
