Netherite Release Candidate 1.0.0-rc1

This release contains all of the functionality planned for the first production release, but still has a dependency on the Faster prerelease, so it is technically still a prerelease.

There are many changes since the last beta release. The most significant change is that we are using Faster v2, and tracking the cache size. In particular, instance and orchestration histories are now evicted from the cache if the cache size exceeds the configured maximum.
