tfhe-versionable 0.8.0

tfhe-versionable: Add versioning informations/backward compatibility on rust types used for serialization
Documentation
//! Example of a version deprecation, to remove support for types up to a chosen point.
//!
//! In this example, we have an application with 3 versions: v0, v1, v2. We know that v0 and v1 are
//! not used in the wild, so we want to remove backward compatibility with them to be able to
//! clean-up some code. We can use this feature to create a v3 version that will be compatible with
//! v2 but remove support for the previous ones.
