6.0.0-M1 - ORM, Aliases, OIDC, Sort, Tenants, Tokenization

Join us in celebrating our first milestone release! ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

This release includes many fixes and feedback points we've received from our early users and adds support for several collection-management APIs, like Aliases and Tenants. Furthermore, we're introducing our minimal ORM to let you read and write Weaviate objects into native Java records.

We've updated our README and written a lot of Javadoc. Check them out to learn more about using the new features.
