Version 7 roadmap (tracking issue)

[KillyMXI]

Some improvements I wanted to make will take a while to complete. At the same time there is a growing number of dependency updates, and another LTS Node version is soon to reach the end of support.

Goals for the version 7:

• Node version >= 10.23.2
• Bump dependencies
  • Upgrade htmlparser2 to version 6 #220 in particular
• Make use of the version bump with minor refactoring
  • Can probably get rid of lodash dependency here and close Replace deepmerge with lodash/merge #221
• Options object pattern for BlockTextBuilder methods, deprecate current positional arguments
• Update docs
  • Changelog
  • Readme
• Update package version and publish

Hopefully this won't take long but it requires the major version bump.

Considered and decided not to include this time:

• CSS selectors only match the first found element #215 - no quick solution, will probably be solved as a part of a bigger work;
• Console warnings for deprecated options - causes some difficulties as long as the CLI is within the package. I will rather focus on moving it out than working around it here.
