v0.2.0

A clearer interface (#19)

• The answer first: how the session ended, in plain words ("Ended abruptly: no shutdown, a power cut, a forced power-off or a freeze"), then the facts around it.
• Problems by time, between the moments of the session: started, went to sleep, woke up, the end. T lists them by importance.
• The machine of each session: model, CPU, RAM, graphics and kernel, from the session's own journal, and a note when the kernel changed from the session before. Also in the report.
• Long kernel reports folded in a problem's journal lines: an out-of-memory goes from 571 lines to 12.
• No blank panels while moving through the sessions; the ones next to the selected one are read ahead.
• A quieter style: colour only where it means something, one set of words everywhere.

Simpler rules (#9)

One level (err, warn, info, context, hidden, off), the line written as it is in text with {name} placeholders, examples inside the rule, no regular expressions. Your rules come first and can change or turn off a built-in one by its id. See docs/RULES.md.

Fewer commands (#11)

whyd [-b N] [--file PATH]          the session in the interface (as text in a pipe or a file)
whyd report [-b N] [--file PATH]   the Markdown report, redacted
whyd rules [FILE|DIR...]           the rules in use, checked

Fixes

• No crash on a cache file with no sessions (#13).
• Each out-of-memory problem shows the memory of its own report, not the first one's.

Breaking

• Rules written for 0.1 must be rewritten in the new format (docs/RULES.md).

• Commands: whyd list, whyd rules test, --text, --raw, -u, --days, --all are gone.

  Before	Now
  whyd list -u	the interface, U
  whyd --text	whyd | less, or whyd > file
  whyd report --raw	the interface: R, then X
  whyd rules test [file]	whyd rules [file]

• Words of the text output and of the report: abrupt end, shut down, restarted, never woke up (were no shutdown, power-off, reboot, died asleep); error and warning (were err and warn); "Other warnings" (was "Not recognised").
