Hi Everyone,

I propose that we release the following RC as the official PyIceberg 0.6.0 
release.

This is the second RC that patches:

- Parquet compression is not being set (#345)
- Remove the constraint on sort-orders (#349)
- Issues when writing null-columns (#337, #348)

Again, here's a summary of the high level features included in this release:

* Write support for writing to unpartitioned tables
* Includes snapshot generation
* Constructing Avro writer trees
* Support writing metadata which allows to commit support for the Hive, Sql, 
and Glue catalog.
* Support for name-mapping
* Easy evolution of schema using the union_by_name method
* And a lot of bug fixes and improvements
* Support for creating unpartitioned tables using PyArrow Schema
