First major release in years.

For reaching 40k stars on GitHub, I decided to release a new major version. It doesn't break anything and doesn't introduce big changes, but it starts a new chapter in Stats - monitoring inside the application. Over the next 6-8 months I have a lot of plans for new releases: rewriting the settings logic from scratch (over time there's just too much going on there), adding a more historical view of the data, a few new widgets, and many small features I always wanted to add but held off on to keep the app simple and stable. It's a new chapter for Stats, and I'm very thankful to everyone who helps make Stats better.

Bug fixes

• fix: fixed preview/settings button visibility
• fix: moved back to the CSDiskSpaceGetRecoveryEstimate + purgeable but now with most important fix - removeAllCachedResourceValues. Since the macOS by default cache the requested URL data. So does not case what method we use - it will be always cached. And this one is more efficient than volumeAvailableCapacityForImportantUsageKey. (#3249)
