5.4.8.0-leisure

[5.4.8.0], 2024-04-10, leisure

This release is a maintenance release that adds checkpoints post the unintended
fork when 5.4.6.0 was introduced. Given that some folks upgraded to 5.4.7.0 too
late for their wallets to correct out of the fork, some 5.4.7.0 clients continue
to spam the network. This will largely squelch that on 5.4.8.0 nodes. It also
will force the forked 5.4.7.0 or below clients to reset their blockchain and
resync from zero when they upgrade to 5.4.8.0 and run it for the first time.

It is highly encouraged to upgrade to this release.
