v0.1.0 - Initial release 🥳

This is the first official release of the Jas assembler🎉! ... Finally! After Over 1200 commits, over 3300 lines of code and nearly one and a half years of smashing a keyboard in the dark, Jas finally has finally been able to assemble a simple subset of the x64 instruction set into an ELF object file which ld is willing to chew up and spit out an executable for. (Which I consider as release-worthy, kinda)

Although an effort has been made to ensure the stability of Jas, there's no guarantee that no bugs will occur, code generated using Jas and Jas itself shall not be used in critical production settings. In the coming future, we will do out best to eliminate bugs and boost the stability of the library.
