build: anotherim-js 0.8.0-rc6

The account password can not be changed in the app. The Password field in Settings, Account only updates the password stored in the app, the server keeps the old one

steps:

Open Settings, Account
Type a new password, Save
Sign in to the account from another client with the new password

expected: password changes on the server
actual: server password stays the old one, the app stores the new one

request: a change password action with current and new password, and a clear label for the stored password field

Fixed in anotherim-js 0.8.0-rc7 (https://dev.another.im/another-im/anotherim-js/releases/tag/v0.8.0-rc7): Settings, Account now has a "Password on the server" card with Current password, New password and Repeat password, and a Change password action that sends the change to the server (XEP-0077) while the account is connected. The old Password field, which only ever changed what the app stores and signs in with, is relabelled "Stored password" with a note that it does not change the server's.

Please check with 0.8.0-rc7 or newer.
