Version 5.0.0.0

In this major release of the Edge Addition Planarity Suite, we have very carefully curated and refactored the libPlanarity graph library APIs for consistency and ease-of-use. The header files have also been reorganized to ensure that the public APIs are exactly characterized by declarations reachable by including graphLib.h. This has been done to minimize or eliminate the possibilities for breaking backwards compatibility going forward. The attention to detail on the APIs was also necessary because we wanted the best graph library APIs to be made available in our upcoming v1.0.0 release of the planarity Python project and planarity PyPI package.

Further details about the release may be obtained from the 13 closed issues labeled 5.0 as well as the merged PRs in the change log below.
