0.57.0 (2020/12/28)

Biggest new feature is the notion of default application - what it means is that if you specify a directory or a url ending with a / then jbang will launch the default application using main.java.

This lets you do jbang . to run current directory or things like "running" a web url, i.e. try jbang https://jbang.dev.
This also allows a default behavior when using jbang in container, buildpacks, automations, etc.

In addition we got a nice fix from @jeffmaury to have jbang use GITHUB_TOKEN when accessing gists/github to reduce throttling.

The sad part of this release is that we had to disable support for tweets as twitter.com seem to have removed support
for getting the text of a tweet without javascript/complex logic.

There are a few other few fixes, all listed below.
