v8.0.0

Pa11y 8 makes the latest version of Puppeteer (22) available to Pa11y and updates several other dependencies.

Changes

• Major dependency changes
  • Upgrade puppeteer to 22 from 20
    • This may affect Pa11y's operating system support and the behaviour of Pa11y's browser automation.
  • Upgrade commander to 12 from 11
  • Remove dependency p-timeout
    • This will only affect users who had depended on p-timeout's presence as a side effect of installing Pa11y.

Many thanks to @aarongoldenthal for contributing these dependency upgrades to Pa11y.
