v0.7.0

This release makes iterator creation fallible to avoid potential hangs when there is no available thread to process
any of the iterator work.

New Features

• WalkDirGeneric::try_into_iter() for early error handling.
  If we can't instantiate the iterator due to a busy thread-pool,
  we can now abort early instead of yielding a fake-entry just to
  show an error occurred. This is the preferred way to instantiate
  a jwalk iterator.

New Features (BREAKING)

• Detect possible deadlocks when instantiating a parallel iterator.
  Deadlocks can happen if the producer for results doesn't start as there
  is no free thread on the rayon pool, and the only way for it to become free
  is if the iterator produces results.

  We now offer a busy_timeout in the relevant variants of the
  Parallelism enumeration to allow controlling how long we will wait
  until we abort with an error.
