Version 0.16.0

Panel Material UI 0.16.0 prepares the components for integration into Panel 1.10, where they become available under the pn.ui namespace. Material widgets now match the parameters and defaults of their classic Panel counterparts, the package hooks into Panel's design system instead of patching Panel's templates, and new StaticText, ToggleGroup, ArrayInput and DatetimeRangeInput widgets fill the remaining gaps. The release also adds a draggable FloatPanel layout and draggable MenuList items, and themes classic Terminal, Gauge and indicator figures.

Many thanks to @philippjfr for their contributions to this release.
