release notes

[NEST 3.8](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12624784) is the result of 533 commits by 16 developers since [NEST 3.7](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10834751) which was released on 2024-04-12.
This release adds models with exact and simplified NMDA dynamics, as well as improvements and corrections of model documentation. The model directory was reworked to now feature interactive filtering and new concept overview pages. For the first time, the release contains also documentation of the expected performance for established neuronal network models of different sizes.

On the technical side, an important bug in slicing node collections has been fixed, and various issues caused by version updates of other tools such as NumPy and Python on MacOS have been addressed.
