Move the static command line options into the config file for
consistency and remove `--no-issues` in favour of
`issues-wo-labels=false` to fix the problem where `release-summary`
issues are being excluded from the changelog.
Updates the RELEASING.md runbook with more steps and scripts.
Excludes dev release tags for prior releases.
Updates github_changelog_generator config to exclude pull requests
with the release-prep label from the changelog.

This major brings major changes to the library by adding support for devices that require authentication for communications, all of this being possible thanks to the great work by @sdb9696!
This release adds support to a large range of previously unsupported devices, including:
* Newer kasa-branded devices, including Matter-enabled devices like KP125M
* Newer hardware/firmware versions on some models, like EP25, that suddenly changed the used protocol
* Tapo-branded devices like plugs (P110), light bulbs (KL530), LED strips (L900, L920), and wall switches (KS205, KS225)
* UK variant of HS110, which was the first device using the new protocol
If your device that is not currently listed as supported is working, please consider contributing a test fixture file.
Special thanks goes to @SimonWilkinson who created the initial PR for the new communication protocol!
This is the first proper python-kasa release since forking from pyhs100.
* Improved I/O handling, including asyncio interface, request merging & connection sharing
* API improvements throughout the whole package
* Support for LED strips
* Improved bulb support (transitions, support for more models)
* Onboarding is now possible without a mobile app
* Improved documentation
* And various other improvements, see the full changelog for details!
Thanks to all contributors, from testers, and issue reporters to those who have submitted pull requests! Thanks also to those who donated test devices to help to make this release happen!
Special thanks for this release go to @basnijholt (initial asyncio port, push to make this fork happen) and @bdraco (fixing the last release blocker, emeter support for powerstrips).
If you are using python-kasa in your projects, we would be happy to hear about it. Feel free to post a note on Github discussions!
If it is a project that could be interesting for other users and/or developers, feel also free to create a PR to add a short note to the README file.
