Release v0.6.2

[dotsdl]

This is an incremental bugfix release, featuring small usability improvements from user feedback. In particular:

• it is now possible to set required arguments for the AlchemiscaleClient via environment variables, namely ALCHEMISCALE_URL, ALCHEMISCALE_ID, and ALCHEMISCALE_KEY.
• users of the AlchemiscaleClient can now disable local on-disk caching with use_local_cache=False
• compute services can now be configured to use a local on-disk cache where possible, or disable it completely
• Tasks now record the identity of the user that created them; this may be used in the future as a queryable

Thanks to all our contributors, including @LilDojd, @ianmkenney, @mikemhenry, and @dotsdl!
