Vega Strike v0.8.0

This is the final, "Gold Master" release of Vega Strike Game Engine version 0.8.0. Among other things, this release:

• Deprecates Python 2 in favor of Python 3;
• Updates the set of Linux distros it's compatible with, including Fedora 34 and 35; Rocky Linux; Ubuntu 21.10 "Impish"; and Debian 11 "bullseye";
• Introduces a CMake option to choose between GLVND and legacy GL implementations on Linux;
• Is more or less compatible with Privateer: Wing Commander Universe, or PWCU for short; and
• Introduces engine and API versioning, so that in the future, we can make breaking changes to the API between the Game Engine and the assets for individual games, and "do the right thing" when the game engine and assets are not compatible.
• Vega Strike Game Engine v0.8.x also runs on Windows 10, although we do not yet have a Windows installer. We do, however, have a reproducible build process.
