v8.0.0 - Around the (ESM) World

This major release marks the completion of a long journey that started with the release of v7.0.0:
SimpleWebAuthn is now available for use in non-Node projects! 🎉

SimpleWebAuthn debuted in mid-2020 as a combination of libraries aiming to make WebAuthn simpler to
use across browsers and "NodeJS + CommonJS" applications. Since then NodeJS has evolved to gain ESM
support, and additional JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes have debuted that offer ESM-centric,
TypeScript-first alternatives while also implementing Web APIs to offer a more consistent and
capable execution environment for developers.

I've wanted to make this project available to developers using these Node alternatives to help them
get past some of WebAuthn's rough spots. Today I'm happy to announce that this goal has been
achieved! 😌

See the Changes below for more information, as well as additional information on breaking
changes made in this release.
