v1.8.4

(⚡️ experimental) publish support for the Sonatype Central Portal

This Scala CLI version adds support for publishing artifacts to the Sonatype Central Portal via its OSSRH Staging API.
It is once again possible to publish artifacts to Maven Central with Scala CLI.
Both stable and *-SNAPSHOT versions are handled.
The only configuration change necessary is to migrate the Sonatype namespace in the UI and regenerate credentials to the new Sonatype Central Portal, as per Sonatype instructions

scala-cli publish . --power

Better support for the REPL with JDK 24+

When using the REPL with JDK 24 or newer, users should no longer see the warnings about restricted methods of java.lang.System being used.
