A release with a major developer UX upgrade, refactoring and tests.

I've released Steemex v0.6, a websockets Steem client library for Elixir/Erlang.

Steemex.call and utility functions like Steemex.get_content are now blocking the calling process by default. As usual in Elixir, you can use Task.async or other basic primitives for concurrency and parallelization. The new default will provide a more ergonomic experience using idiomatic Elixir code.

Steemex.call and utility funtions now return {:ok, result} or {:error, reason} success tuple.

Warning: this release breaks backward compatibility.

You still will be able to use handler module using stream_to option, like this: Steemex.call(params, stream_to: HandlerModule).
Async call with stream_to will return an id of the call if you need to track it.

An example of handler module is provided in the readme and in the examples folder.
