Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Declare missing direct dependencies

The package imports `frequenz.client.common`, `frequenz.core` and
`grpc` directly, but none of them was declared in pyproject.toml; they
were only pulled in transitively through `frequenz-client-dispatch`.
If that client changed its own requirements (for example to accept
`frequenz-client-common` v0.4.x), this library could break without any
warning from the resolver.

Declare all three explicitly. `frequenz-client-common` is pinned to `>=
0.3.8, < 0.4.0` as the issue suggests and `frequenz-core` follows what
the minimum supported `frequenz-client-dispatch` (0.11.3) requires. The
`grpcio` floor is 1.80.0 because `frequenz-client-common` 0.3.8 needs
`frequenz-api-common >= 0.8.4`, which itself requires `grpcio >= 1.80`.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Clean release notes formatting

This will be rendered by GitHub releases, which preserves new lines, so
it looks better if we don't manually wrap.

Also remove placeholders, as the release will happen soon and will not
get new features or content for the currently empty sections.
