KrakenD 0.6 autumn release

As if we were an agrarian society, our releases keep revolving around the weather calendar seasons. Autumn is around the corner (northern hemisphere), so our release is ready for a cool autumn.

TL;DR

This release adds two interesting components: the JOSE component responsible for the JWT signing and validation, and the Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) component. There is also a Consul client available.

The Krakend Playground and the KrakenDesigner (UI) is also updated.

The KrakenD framework brings only a few changes:

• Decoupled the HTTP server from the router packages
• Add the Service name in the configuration
