Calamares 3.3.8 released

Core

Modules
- contextualprocess see shellprocess.
- mount module now correctly mounts luks and luks2-encrypted swap. (thanks Victor)
- partition avoids a crash with specific checkbox-presets. (thanks Evan)
- partition had a bug where manual partitioning on MBR systems might skip the installation of a bootloader, even though the visible bootloader combo-box showed that it would be installed. (see #2318)
- partition could calculate an incorrect partition size when installing to very specific partition sizes, and now leaves a few more sectors for secondary GPT tables. (thanks Tj)
- shellprocess now supports a verbose key (globally and per-command) which logs command output line-by-line.
- users module defaults password salt to yescrypt. (thanks Lorenzo)
