Operations

- Added qelectron tests to the `tests` workflow
- Split the `nightly` workflow into 4 manually triggerable workflows, `nightly-tests`, `man_0_assign_version`, `man_1_push_to_master`, and `man_2_create_prerelease` to be run in this order.
- Now only the `nightly-tests` workflow will be run on a daily basis, and the other 3 workflows will be run manually.
- Removed `conda` releases from `release.yml`.
- When pushing to `master`, now the version numbers of `develop` and `master` will be compared in `man_1_push_to_master`.
- Upgraded checkout action to v4 in `release.yml`.
- Fixing the if condition for the manual workflows.
- Added pre-release creation as part of `nightly-tests` workflow.

Added

- Added CRM method to handle Python to TF value conversion (e.g. None->null, True->true, False->false).
- Added `pennylane` as a requirement in tests due to the tutorials using it

Changed

- Updated RTD notebooks to fix their behavior
- Changed the error being shown when drawing the transport graph of a lattice to a debug message instead
- Revamped README
- Reorganized `qelectron` tests
- Made qelectron an opt-in feature using `covalent[quantum]` extra

Removed

- Removed unused file transfer how to guides
- Removed `pennylane` as a requirement from notebooks' requirements.txt as it comes with `covalent`
- Removed `validate_args` and `validate_region` method from `deploy_group` CLI as they were specific to AWS

Docs

- Added voice cloning tutorial

Fixed

- Fixed the scenario where any deploy commands would fail if the user had a non deploy compatible plugin installed
- Fixed the SQLAlchemy warning that used to show up at every fresh server start
- Fixed deploy commands' default value of plugins not being propagated to the tfvars file

Added

- Added feature to use custom python files as modules to be used in the electron function

Changed

- SDK no longer uploads empty assets when submitting a dispatch.
- Results Manager avoids downloading assets with size 0.
- Local and Dask executor plugins now return accurate sizes of task
artifacts.
- Size (number of bytes) is now a required attribute whenever updating
asset metadata. Although the exact numerical value is not yet
important, whether the size is reported to be zero or positive does
have consequences.
- Pack deps, call_before, and call_after assets into one file.
- Changed handling of tuples and sets when building the transport graph - they will be converted to electron lists as well for now
- `qelectron_db`, `qelectron_data_exists`, `python_version`, and `covalent_version`
are now optional in the pydantic model definitions.

- Handled RecursionError on get results for a long running workflow.
