v8.4.0

Happy Monday! Today we're releasing 8.4.0 of Snipe-IT! In it you'll find tons of small bug fixes and some bigger ones.

**As always, we highly recommend upgrading to the latest stable version of Snipe-IT, as we are constantly improving the product and patching security issues we come across.**

### Smallish:

- Several small security fixes
- Loads of fixes to light/dark mode
- Some label scaling fixes
- Less noisy SCIM debugging when it's not actually helpful 
- Ability to clone components
- Fixed a few breadcrumb titles

### Biggish?

- We identified a few queries that were not optimized as well as they could be, so it was creating an "n+1" problem. The more items you had, the more queries you'd be doing. **We've fixed those and things should be a LOT snappier now.** 
- We've added sticky columns to most of the table views. We have tried really hard to make them be the ones that make sense (name, as the left-side sticky, and actions and/or checkin/checkin where appropriate).  I expect you'll let us know if we guessed wrong here. 
- A more standardized right-side panel in *most* screens (not users and not assets or "Your Profile" yet). We're really quite excited about this, as we feel it exposes a lot more of the potentially important information you need to see while looking at an item than we we used to. A few fewer clicks, and a lot more information exposed, but also able to be tucked away if you need larger screen real-estate.
