update arrow version to 8.0.1

avoid clashing definitions of mpark::variant when including xtensor/xtl.

Arrow got rid of mpark::variant in more recent versions, so updating solves the problem

The code approval procedure is described in the wiki: Code approval procedure wiki

• The MR is without WIP/Draft status
• Make sure the most recent CI jobs (config, quality, build_test_example) all run fine with no failures
  • if "check clang-format" failed: the code contributor has to run ./do-clang-format.py --apply eventually with the --all option
  • if "check copyright" failed the code contributor has to run./do-copyright.py --add=20xy
• Make sure also the jobs with MR-label ready for code review succeed. This includes the optional jobs, in particular 'coverage', 'release-clang-8", "release-u-18.04" and make sure no problems occur. You may have to trigger a pipeline manually to check this.
• Check in the "coverage" job output that the coverage did not decrease. It should always stay, or increase. If it decreased --> ask contributor to add further needed unit tests, and check coverage report.
• On the MR page, open the "Open in Web IDE" tool
  • Check if the provided solution solves the Issue, discuss on gitlab
  • Check that all changes are actually related to the issue
  • There are no debug statements left, not even commented out
  • Check all changes for coding rules and guidelines
• When all above is done:
  • Add MR label "Code Review Finished"

Ok, I tested extensively and I have some comments before we merge:

1. I was able to build this locally with gcc 11.3 and not 9. Not quite sure if this is the only reason this happened on my laptop.
2. This upgrade does solve a radio issue I had about a year ago. In the original implementation of antennas I used xtensor but there was a name clash with some arrow package and I had to let xtensor go. I re-tested this today and did not have the same issue. Although, I have to mention that if at some point we do want to use xtensor again we need to add the option xtensor:xsimd=False in the conanfile.txt.

In short, if there are no strong opinions against it, I think we can safely merge.
