[ANNOUNCE] EFI Boot Guard 0.8 released

[Jan Kiszka]

Hi,

it's been quite a while since the last release, so this one is
definitely more major. As usual, we have quite a few bug fixes in the
core as well as in the tools. Specifically the iTCO received significant
fixes and changes, regarding supported hardware and correctness of the
timeout.

New is support for the amdfch, the SIMATIC IPC4x7E, and the iTCO
versions found in Intel Elkhart Lake SoCs as well as historic NM10
chipsets. bg_printenv can now also work directly against an env file.
And, last but not least, our boot output is more colorful now!

Thanks for all contribution!
