Release 0.6.0

[wprzytula]

The ScyllaDB team is pleased to announce ScyllaDB CPP RS Driver 0.6.0, an API-compatible rewrite of https://github.com/scylladb/cpp-driver as a wrapper for the Rust driver. It will fully replace the CPP driver, which is already reaching its End of Life.
The current driver version should be considered Beta.

Some minor features still need to be included. See Limitations section in README.md.

The underlying Rust driver used version: 4f02969823f7b07b0d6b007a11863fe4aac95821 (not yet released commit from main branch).
