Phoenix v1.6.0 Released! 🚀

[nelsonic]

Really excited about this release: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/tags

While this may appear to be a "minor" update (from SemVer perspective), it's actually pretty significant. See: CHANGELOG: https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#changelog-for-v16
