Deprecates Issue.assignee and Issue.edit(assignee=…), use Issue.assignees and Issue.edit(assignees=…) instead.

##### Notable changes

##### Lazy PyGithub objects

The notion of lazy objects has been added to some PyGithub classes in
version 2.6.0. This release now makes all `CompletableGithubObject`s
optionally lazy (if useful). See
[PyGithub/PyGithub#3403](https://redirect.github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub/pull/3403)
for a complete list.

In lazy mode, getting a PyGithub object does not send a request to the
GitHub API. Only accessing methods and properties sends the necessary
requests to the GitHub API:

```python

# Use lazy mode
g = Github(auth=auth, lazy=True)

# these method calls do not send requests to the GitHub API
user = g.get_user("PyGithub")    # get the user
repo = user.get_repo("PyGithub") # get the user's repo
pull = repo.get_pull(3403)       # get a known pull request
issue = pull.as_issue()          # turn the pull request into an issue

# these method and property calls send requests to Github API
issue.create_reaction("rocket")  # create a reaction
created = repo.created_at        # get property of lazy object repo

# once a lazy object has been fetched, all properties are available (no more requests)
licence = repo.license
```

All PyGithub classes that implement `CompletableGithubObject` support
lazy mode (if useful). This is only useful for classes that have methods
creating, changing, or getting objects.

By default, PyGithub objects are not lazy.

##### PyGithub objects with a paginated property

The GitHub API has the "feature" of paginated properties. Some objects
returned by the API have a property that allows for pagination. Fetching
subsequent pages of that property means fetching the entire object (with
all other properties) and the specified page of the paginated property.
Iterating over the paginated property means fetching all other
properties multiple times. Fortunately, the allowed size of each page
(`per_page` is usually 300, in contrast to the "usual" `per_page`
maximum of 100).

Objects with paginated properties:

- Commit.files
- Comparison.commits
- EnterpriseConsumedLicenses.users

This PR makes iterating those paginated properties use the configured
`per_page` setting.

It further allows to specify an individual `per_page` when either
retrieving such objects, or fetching paginated properties.

See [Classes with paginated
properties](https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/stable/utilities.html#utilities-classes-with-paginated-properties)
for details.

##### Drop Python 3.8 support due to End-of-Life

Python 3.8 reached its end-of-life September 6, 2024. Support has been
removed with this release.

##### Deprecations

- Method `delete` of `Reaction` is deprecated, use
`IssueComment.delete_reaction`,
`PullRequestComment.delete_reaction`, `CommitComment.delete_reaction` or
`Issue.delete_reaction` instead.
- Method `Issue.assignee` and parameter `Issue.edit(assignee=…)` are
deprecated,
  use `Issue.assignees` and `Issue.edit(assignees=…)` instead.
- Method `Organization.edit_hook` is deprecated, use
`Organization.get_hook(id).edit(…)` instead.
If you need to avoid `Organization.get_hook(id)` to fetch the `Hook`
object from Github API,
  use a lazy Github instance:

```python
Github(…, lazy=True).get_organization(…).get_hook(id).edit(…)
```

- Methods `Team.add_to_members` and `Team.remove_from_members` are
deprecated,
  use `Team.add_membership` or `Team.remove_membership` instead.
