Convert changelog to markdown file, record 0.6.0 changes (main)

[korydraughn]

Merge once @alanking and @d-w-moore report PRC and Ingest tests (w/ PRC tip-of-main) pass.

[trel]

please also look at setup.cfg... i think it should point to README.md

[trel]

and look at MANIFEST.in

[trel]

and AUTHORS

[trel]

and consider removing the auto-generator... .gitchangelog.rc

[korydraughn]

What do you want to do about the AUTHORS file? Doesn't add any value IMO. People can always find it in the git history.

[korydraughn]

I think the AUTHORS file can be removed.

[trel]

I think the AUTHORS file can be removed.

Agreed.

[trel]

i think all these commits are 'packaging' and should be issue 3 ?

[trel]

removing .gitchangelog.rc could be 5... or also 3.

[korydraughn]

Okay. Will make all of them 3.

[korydraughn]

Squashed and reordered.

Did not include recent changes (e.g. AUTHORS file removal) in changelog because the changelog is supposed to highlight notable changes.

[korydraughn]

Fixed it!

[d-w-moore]

Tests pass on tip of main, with the exception of test_assigning_session_connection_timeout_to_invalid_values__issue_569 which just needs float('Inf') removed as a test value

[alanking]

@d-w-moore - https://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient/pull/638 was merged earlier today, so that issue should be resolved now.

I will also confirm that ingest tests were passing when running with a pip package based on commit https://github.com/irods/python-irodsclient/commit/dcd6c135c81b8fba16f3fda4b7e7fcc1f5b012bf. The only difference between tip of main and that commit is the aforementioned removal of float(Inf) from a test, which should not have any effect on ingest.
