0.5.0

API changes

Be aware that this release contains some breaking API changes, which should be confined only to the SyntheticControl experiment class. The docs and docstrings have been updated to reflect the new API. This was necessary to enable the main new feature of this release... we can now do synthetic control analyses with multiple treated units in a more coherent way.

As part of this, there was some behind the scenes refactoring work. All our tests pass and there should be zero visible change to users, but if there are any edge cases not caught by our tests then we welcome bug reports.
