Release 1.8.0

[github-actions[bot]]

This release brings proper EPUB support for books containing text, along with a first version of a web epub reader.

• eBooks behave like any other book in Komga, in regards to series or metadata. You can even mix comic books and ebooks in the same series.
• only EPUB format is supported. Other formats will not be supported in the future.
• existing EPUB files will be re-analyzed. If you had image-only EPUB, those may not be compatible anymore with third-party clients.
• the web EPUB reader is a very first version, and does not support saving progress. Read progress saving and restore will come in a future release.
• any book in Komga can be read with WebPub compatible clients.
• There will be issues. EPUB is a complex format, and many EPUB files are not properly built. Raise issues on Github for support.
