Changed

* skip pandas ``pd.NA`` similar to ``None``
* add ``score_multiplier`` argument to ``process.cdist`` which allows multiplying the end result scores
with a constant factor.
* drop support for Python 3.7
Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~
* improve performance of simd implementation for ``LCS`` / ``Indel`` / ``Jaro`` / ``JaroWinkler``
* improve performance of Jaro and Jaro Winkler for long sequences
* implement ``process.extract`` with ``limit=1`` using ``process.extractOne`` which can be faster
Fixed
~~~~~
* the preprocessing function was always called through Python due to a broken C-API version check
* fix wraparound issue in simd implementation of Jaro and Jaro Winkler
