rmw v0.8.0 released

[andy5995]

• The config option 'purge_after' has been deprecated and replaced
  with 'expire_age' ('purge_after' will still be accepted, but the user
  will be given a deprecation warning).

• When '-u' is used, the mrl file will no longer be removed, but
  emptied instead. If a user gives the '-u' option when the mrl file is
  empty, they will get a friendlier message stating that there are no
  items in the list (instead of an error message about the file not
  being found).

• fixed handling of dot dirs ('.' and '..'). Instead of giving an
  error message and quitting, rmw will print a message stating that
  they'll be skipped.

• The environmental variable RMWTEST_HOME has been replaced with
  RMW_FAKE_HOME (Trying to use RMWTEST_HOME will give a deprecation
  warning and still work).

• Expanded the man page and updated the README (improved documentation)

• Replaced autotools build system with meson

• rmw now uses the canfigger library for parsing the configuration file.

• disabled a restore test that failed when 'make check' is run with
  superuser privileges

This discussion was created from the release rmw v0.8.0 released.

I may have created the AppImage just a little incorrectly when I released it earlier today. I've recreated the AppImage and replaced the one that was released. I've updated the sha256sum accordingly.

The sum for the AppImage that was originally released is fa2b23247a889704cdc5250dc0620b0b1542f2d3b053157e5d237dbb029f88d8. There's no security issue, but when using linuxdeploy, I used --executable /usr/bin/rmw instead of --executable AppDir/usr/bin/rmw.

Congratulations! \o/

I've replaced the AppImage one more time, so it will pass the test on https://github.com/AppImage/appimage.github.io (it needed to be built on an older system)
