Mainnet Release - v1.0.0 - Ashvini

🌌 New Raiden Light Client SDK, dApp and CLI Release

INFO: The Light Client SDK, CLI and dApp are all work in progress projects. All three projects have been released for mainnet and all code is available in the Light Client repository. As this release still has its limitations and is a beta release, it is crucial to read this readme including the security notes carefully before using the software.

Summary of features that went in:

• This is the first Light-Client release to be officially supported on Ethereum Mainnet (Homestead), including our deployed https://lightclient.raiden.network/ web dApp instance, but you can always server it locally as well, of course.
• The SDK now requires to be connected to a Raiden Bespin - v2.x network for transport, clients and services. This release breaks compatibility with previous Raiden 1.x Alderaan in order to improve scalability, efficiency and reliability of the network.
• Most of the non-breaking improvements and fixes on this release got a last release for previous Raiden version in the form of the Light Client v0.17.0 - Sleeping Beauty release, so be sure to also check its release notes as well.
