Open Data Cube release 1.8.16

Maintenance release

Various bug fixes and updates.

Previous releases of the ODC have supported Python 3.8+. With Python 3.8 now at end-of-life, and recent releases of key datacube dependencies (e.g. Xarray and PyProj) already requiring Python 3.9, this release officially drops support for Python 3.8.

Full list of changes:

• Improve error message for mismatch between dataset metadata and product signature #1472
• Mark --confirm-ignore-lineage, --auto-add-lineage, and --verify-lineage as deprecated
  or to be deprecated #1472
• Default delta values in archive_less_mature and find_less_mature #1472
• Fix SQLAlchemy calls and pin jsonschema version to suppress deprecation warnings #1476
• Throw a better error if a dataset is not compatible with archive_less_mature logic #1491
• Fix broken Github action workflow #1496
• Support like=<GeoBox> in virtual product load #1497
• Don't archive less mature if archive_less_mature is provided as False instead of None #1498
• Raise minimum supported Python version to 3.9 #1500
• Manually apply Dependabot updates, and update whats_new.rst for 1.8.16 release #1501
