ckb 0.100.0-rc5 (8f9aa40 2021-09-08)

This is an RC version to preview the changes in the next release.

The version v0.100.0 will bring incompatible changes for the next hard fork but it will not activate the hard fork for testnet and mainnet. So it is compatible with the current testnet and mainnet.

• The block header as a new field extra_hash, which replaced uncles_hash.
• The block has a new field extension but no blocks may set it before the hard fork activation.
• The field hash_type has a new allowed value "data1" but it is invalid before the hard fork activation.
• The default value of the parameter OutputsValidator in the JSON RPC send_transaction is well_known_scripts_only now. See #2821 for details.
