v1.8.0-rc.3

This release:

- adds the experimental `copyRangeMethod` config on folders, for use on
  filesystems with copy-on-write support. Please see
  https://docs.syncthing.net/advanced/folder-copyrangemethod.html for
  details.

- adds TCP hole punching, used to establish high performance TCP
  connections in certain NAT scenarios where only relay or QUIC
  connections could be used previously.

- adds a configuration to file versioning for how often to run cleanup.
  This defaults to once an hour, but is configurable from very
  frequently to never.
