Release Version v0.3.4 (#735)

## [0.3.4] - 2025-10-14

### Major change to `wasm_js` backend

Now, when the `wasm_js` feature is enabled, the `wasm_js` backend will
be used
by default. Users of `wasm32-unknown-unknown` targeting JavaScript
environments
like the Web and Node.js will no longer need to specify:
```
--cfg getrandom_backend="wasm_js"
```
in `RUSTFLAGS` for the crate to compile. They can now simple enable a
feature.

Note: this should not affect non-JS users of the
`wasm32-unknown-unknown`
target. Using `--cfg getrandom_backend` will still override the source
of
randomness _even if_ the `wasm_js` feature is enabled. This includes
`--cfg getrandom_backend=custom` and `--cfg
getrandom_backend=unsupported`.

For more information, see the discussions in [#671], [#675], and [#730].

### Added
- `unsupported` opt-in backend [#667]
- `windows_legacy` opt-in backend [#724]

### Changed
- Implement Memory Sanitizer unpoisoning more precisely [#678]
- Relax MSRV for the `linux_raw` opt-in backend on ARM targets [#688]
- Use `getrandom` syscall on all RISC-V Linux targets [#699]
- Replaced `wasi` dependency with `wasip2` [#721]
- Enable `wasm_js` backend by default if the `wasm_js` feature is
enabled [#730]

### Removed
- Unstable `rustc-dep-of-std` crate feature [#694]
