v0.16.0

This release adds an experimental support for the user-v2 network driver: limactl start template://experimental/net-user-v2.
The user-v2 network driver enables VM-to-VM networking without the root privilege on the host.
This should be useful for simulating multi-node Kubernetes clusters on a laptop.

This release also fixes a relatively minor vulnerability CVE-2023-32684.
This vulnerability is very unlikely to be exploitable as long as you are using the official templates of Lima.
