0.2.0

This is a really great release, thank you for all the work to all contributors.

Highlights

• Improvements in generic handling, especially around Tuples #657 and even labelled tuples #670
• Specialization support -- you can now "specialize" types in swift-java.config or using a typealias SomethingCool = Something<Cool> in code #664
• support for #if ... blocks! #678
• returning strings and throwing funcs in jextract/FFM #651
• Better support for Dead Code Elimination, especially important for Android #652

And a number of performance and correctness fixes all around jextract and wrap-java.
