Update casting for apply_operation

[mudit2812]

• Update casting for matrices in qml.devices.qubit.apply_operation. For some reason the old casting was making jax happy but not autograd.
• Remove the 0.38.1 changelog. @josh146 confirmed that we should do this now that the release has been yanked from PyPi.

I'm going to open a temporary PR in qml to promote ComplexWarnings to errors and install this branch to verify that all warnings are fixed after this PR is merged.

Makes sense! Are these failures expected?

@PietropaoloFrisoni In hindsight, I should've expected those failures. I've fixed them now by having a separate branch for casting when the interface is "tensorflow".
