[Feature] Version 5.0.0

[daviddarnes]

Summary

With the amount of compatibility changes and updates made to Alembic, both done and yet to do, I thought it would be appropriate to roll them into a major version update. Also there are a few breaking changes regarding Sass and Sassline, the form component and colour scheme theming which is another reason to use a major version bump.
