Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the many RC's, but as people are actively trying out PyIceberg 
and write
support, we continue to find bugs and improvements. This RC includes:

- Support converting Arrow int8, int16 and large-string types.
- Fixed a discrepancy between the Daft docs and code.
- Properly track the partition-spec and sort-order when assigning fresh IDs for 
the REST-catalog.

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

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
* Support for creating unpartitioned tables using PyArrow Schema
