chore(ci): upgrade python-semantic-release to v9.8.8 (#176)

There have been a lot of releases since v8.0.8
https://github.com/python-semantic-release/python-semantic-release/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v808-2023-08-26

The breaking change was dropping Python 3.7. While this project supports
3.7... that will change the next opportunity
