Version 5.0.0-rc.1

The first release candidate for PortableMC 5.0.0 after more than one year of rewriting the launcher in Rust, from the original Python library. Discussion about this update is available at #196.

Changes

• API: The API has been fully re-implemented in Rust
• API: C and Python bindings are being developped, but will not be available directly for 5.0.0
• CLI: The CLI is the reference implementation of the API Rust crate
• CLI: Interface has completely changed to address long-term issues we had with the different directories and the sub-commands
• Doc: Documentation is now automatically generated from Rust code
• General: Thanks to all contributors of the rewrite-in-rust issue: @Ristovski @HappyGoFishing @MulverineX @jcurtis06 @sedyh @theRookieCoder @theoparis @AinRyzen @rsg245 @AJH123
