1.0.0-beta.2

This beta release marks major improvements in all surface APIs and completes most of the public surface move to distributed actors and async await. We also added more documentation and will continue adding more examples and guides about using and deploying distributed actor clusters.

A few API changes may still happen like making more methods async etc.
