v1.6.0

CyberEther v1.6.0 focuses on extensibility and ML workflows. Highlights include an experimental Python runtime and new Python block for scripting inside flowgraphs, a new inference block with ONNX support in container builds, a modernized plugin v2 interface, and the new retained Sakura component system. Distribution improves with CUDA containers and Linux AppImages, alongside a documentation overhaul and numerous UI fixes. Welcome to first-time contributors @radonnachie, @F5OEO, and @paoloo!
