Version 0.8.0

This version replaces the cmake/ninja minimum-version config option with a more powerful free-form version field. Scikit-build-core will now respect CMAKE_EXECUTABLE for finding CMake. You can override based on the build state, allowing overrides for editable installs, for example. You can specify a build tag (AKA build number). And you can define CMake variables from environment variables.
