Release v0.12

[thorstenhater]

Release notes

This release constitutes a major improvement in terms of parallel performance
by replacing the underlying MPI algorithm (see our paper at IPDPS'26) and
setup time by improving label resolution and adding the access to raw labels.
On the functional side, we introduced AdEx cells, added a new load balancing
method, and probes for the reversal potential.
