v0.11.0

A new release with several improvements and enhancements. The first one in a long while! Huge thanks to @sagikazarmark for putting in most of the gruntwork to make it happen! You're a superstar.

The biggest thing: package log has been extracted to a separate repository and module, go-kit/log. This means that if you or your project was importing go-kit/kit just to get package log, you can significantly reduce your go.mod and dep graph by switching to the new module. Note that we have no current plans to alias the existing go-kit/kit/log to the new go-kit/log module and package, nor to deprecate the current package in favor of the new one. They are two distinct packages with no defined relationship to each other. This may change in the future.

Major changes:

• The log package was extracted to a separate repository
• Examples were moved to a separate repository
• Deprecated kitgen was removed

Thanks to the 22 contributors who contributed to this release! 🏌️‍♂️
