Release 0.8.0

### Added
- `WakuRelay.deleteObserver` to allow removal of observers, useful when
  a React component add observers when mounting and needs to delete it
  when unmounting.
- Keep alive feature that pings host regularly, reducing the chance of
  connections being dropped due to idle.
  Can be disabled or default frequency (10s) can be changed when calling
  `Waku.create`.
- New `lib/utils` module for easy, dependency-less hex/bytes
  conversions.
- New `peers` and `randomPeer` methods on `WakuStore` and
  `WakuLightPush` to have a better idea of available peers;
  Note that it does not check whether Waku node is currently connected
  to said peers.
- Enable passing decryption private keys to `WakuStore.queryHistory`.
- Test: Introduce testing in browser environment (Chrome) using Karma.
- Add support for Waku Message version 1: Asymmetric encryption,
  symmetric encryption, and signature of the data.

### Changed
- **Breaking**: Auto select peer if none provided for store and light
  push protocols.
- Upgrade to `[email protected]` and `[email protected]` to avoid
  `TextEncoder` errors in ReactJS tests.
- Disable keep alive by default as latest nim-waku release does not
  support ping protocol.
- **Breaking**: Optional parameters for `WakuMessage.fromBytes` and
  `WakuMessage.fromUtf8String` are now passed in a single `Options`
   object.
- **Breaking**: `WakuMessage` static functions are now async to allow
  for encryption and decryption.
- **Breaking**: `WakuMessage` constructor is now private, `from*` and
  `decode*` function should be used.
- `WakuMessage` version 1 is partially supported, enabling asymmetrical
  encryption and signature of messages;
  this can be done by passing keys to `WakuMessage.from*` and
  `WakuMessage.decode*` methods.
- Examples (eth-dm): Use Waku Message version 1 encryption scheme
  instead of `eth-crypto`.
- Examples (eth-dm): Use Protobuf for direct messages instead of JSON
  ([#214](#214)).

### Fixed
- Disable `keepAlive` if set to `0`.
