0.6.1-rc1

Should serve to facilitate a release.
Also detaches oqsprovider from inconsistent liboqs main.

@SWilson4 I'm signing off now -- could you please mark your comments resolved as and when that's the case (and CI passes)? I'd then create a draft release tomorrow against this branch and we can see how/whether when to merge (or whether to relax the bind to 0.10.1 as/if open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1820 lands.

Now that open-quantum-safe/liboqs#1820 has landed and CI is no longer broken, it doesn't seem necessary to detach oqs-provider from liboqs main, unless in your judgement it's preferable to couple 0.6.1 to 0.10.1 more tightly. I made #431 targeting this branch to (hopefully) streamline the process tomorrow.

As of now, some of our CI tests (including on liboqs main) are failing, probably due to https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/lfrlwdg67fn8.
