0.12.0rc2

Release 0.12.0 is a relative large release but currently with no breaking changes. We expect there will be breaking changes (at least in the handling of endorsement) before the 0.12.0 release is finalized, hence the minor version update.

The rc0 release candidate introduced a regression via PR #2705 that has been reverted in rc1 and later via PR #2789. Further investigation is needed to determine how to accomplish the goal of PR #2705 ("feat: inject profile") without the regression. The rc2 and later releases address a regression related to the sending of a revocation notification from the issuer to the holder of a newly revoked credential, fixed in PR #2814.

Much progress has been made on did:peer support in this release, with the handling of inbound DID Peer 1 added, and inbound and outbound support for DID Peer 2 and 4. The goal of that work is to eliminate the remaining places where "unqualified" DIDs remain, and to enable the "connection reuse" in the Out of Band protocol when using DID Peer 2 and 4 DIDs. Work continues in supporting ledger agnostic AnonCreds, and the new Hyperledger AnonCreds Rust library. Attention was also given in the release to the handling of JSON-LD Data Integrity Verifiable Credentials, with more expected before the release is finalized. In addition to those updates, there were fixes and improvements across the codebase.

The most visible change in this release is the re-organization of the ACA-Py documentation, moving the vast majority of the documents to the folders within the docs folder -- a long overdue change that will allow us to soon publish the documents on https://aca-py.org directly from the ACA-Py repository, rather than from the separate aries-acapy-docs currently being used.

A big developer improvement is a revamping of the test handling to eliminate ~2500 warnings that were previously generated in the test suite. Nice job @ff137!
