release notes

[NEST 3.7](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10834751) is the result of 1384 commits by 34 developers since [NEST 3.6](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8344932) which was released on 2023-09-28.
This release most notably brings support for spike-based machine learning using eligibility traces, a tripartite and a pairwise-poisson connection rule. Structurally the extension module interface has been redefined and now supports module unloading. Changes contain many bug fixes and improvements.
As of NEST 3.7, NEST requires a C++17 compatible compiler.
Check out more details in the docs: "What's new in NEST 3.7"
