v0.8.0 iOS and Stability improvements

[agittins]

This release contains a LOT of improvements since the last full release, but most of those were included in v0.8.0-rc1, which it looks like about 75% of Bermudians are already using¹! So let's make it official 😁

📱 The main change from rc1 is that I think we might finally have nailed the iOS issue - had some family over for the long weekend, and was able to staple an esp32 to someone's recent iPhone 🤣 With a day or two of debug logs I could see that iOS from 18.3 looks to be churning a lot more IRK MACs than previously (Android15 is doing this also, but crucially some milliseconds slower).

I am hopeful that the changes (hooking a callback for MAC updates from Private BLE Device, instead of polling) will resolve this, so any frustrated iOS users - give this a whirl and let me know at #375 !

The huge changelog from v0.8.0-rc1 is here, but the TLDR is:

• 🎯 Improvements for Android15 devices going unknown (better still now in full release)
• 🧱 Much more reliable and less-twitchy Area determination
• 📉 Much improved CPU and Memory usage
• 📛 Device name shenanigan fixes, which if you never ran the v0.8.0-a[l]phas, you don't need to worry about!
• 🔀 Bluecharm iBeacons and others that send a different UUID on movement are now supported as independent beacons (previously both would trigger due to sharing a MAC address). See ibeacons falsely detected when mac address is shared #236
