release-2024-08-30: Allow dapp to auto-select last used identities on re-authentication

This is Internet Identity release release-2024-08-30 for commit fd5486afabb4e0eead403f771d63d8752f95ab17.

The main change of this release is a new feature that allows dapps to streamline re-authentication: Dapps may supply a principal to Internet Identity when sending the authorize-client message. If that principal belongs to the last used identity on that client application origin, then the identity will be selected automatically. The user will then be presented with the passkey interaction immediately, making the actual authentication the only user interaction required to complete the re-authentication process.

The sha256 of production asset internet_identity_production.wasm.gz is 9ea1df5ffd63367080ee1bc342eeff47a020da280845612b47aba5afc6cb3fe1.

Wasm Verification

To build the wasm modules yourself and verify their hashes, run the following commands from the root of the Internet Identity repository:

git pull # to ensure you have the latest changes.
git checkout fd5486afabb4e0eead403f771d63d8752f95ab17
./scripts/verify-hash --ii-hash 9ea1df5ffd63367080ee1bc342eeff47a020da280845612b47aba5afc6cb3fe1

Make sure to compare the hashes also with the proposal payload when verifying canister upgrade proposals.
