11.1-RC8

Changes compared to 11.1-RC3:

• Fixes a bug where the screenreader texts would be visible in the media modal opened in step 3 of the configuration wizard.

This RC is called RC8 for consistency between wordpress-seo and wordpress-seo-premium.

Bugfixes:

• Fixes a console error due to incorrect PropTypes in the WordPressUserSelector component.
