release: 0.8.1

[t1agob]

Description

This minor release moves the direct REST API calls from the frontend component to the backend. Instead of leveraging the Backstage proxy to make direct API calls to PagerDuty the calls are made now to the backend plugin.

This removes the dependency on the proxy and prevents other plugins from using the PagerDuty proxy configuration to call PagerDuty APIs directly for other purposes which raises few security concerns. Therefore the proxy configuration for PagerDuty on app-config.yaml is no longer required and is in-fact deprecated.

This PR also fixes an issue with the on-call users not showing up (https://github.com/PagerDuty/backstage-plugin/issues/58).

Issue number: https://github.com/PagerDuty/backstage-plugin/issues/37.
