Version 2.0.4

[jpivarski]

This follows quickly on https://github.com/scikit-hep/awkward/releases/tag/v2.0.3, which removed a feature and a function argument. Removing the feature is still the right thing to do (see the 2.0.3 release notes), but the function argument needs to go through a deprecation cycle, since libraries like dask-awkward pass arguments through to Awkward. Removing flatten_records as an argument introduces an error, even if the surviving case of flatten_records=False is desired.

This will also be a good exercise of the deprecation schedule in 2.x.
