Release v0.4.0

This release focused on performance improvements throughout alchemiscale, both user-facing and compute-facing. In particular:

• performance improvements to Task creation, actioning, and claiming by compute services
• new client methods for getting and setting many network weights at once
• new client methods for getting Tasks statuses and actioned Tasks for many networks at once
• added concept of network state, allowing users to set networks to inactive, deleted, or invalid when no longer relevant
• now using neo4j 5.x, and the official neo4j Python driver for database communication

If upgrading an existing alchemiscale deployment to this release, please follow the migration guide.
