Release v0.10.0 Highlights

• Refactor the plotting library for better UX and consistency with pandas, matplotlib and seaborn.
• Add a sankey() feature to the plotting library.
• Rework the documentation and tutorials.

Several PRs in this release changed the implementation of the plotting library for better UX and consistency with pandas, matplotlib and seaborn.

Replace the calls to plotting features by the following:

• plot(...) (or plot(kind='line', ...)) for line_plot()
• plot.stack(...) for stack_plot()
• plot.bar() for bar_plot()
• ...

These PRs also add an order arg to the plotting functions, and the levels are ordered based on the run_control()['order'] dictionary by default.
