v3.0.0

This is the Ross 154 release, which is a major upgrade of prmon.

Highlight Changes

• A logging infrastructure has been introduced, using the spdlog backend. Logging can be adjusted globally or on a per-monitor basis
  using the --level argument (#190)
• Monitored values that are known to be monotonic increasing are now protected from race conditions that might cause them to drop in
  value (#196) (this relies in a major reworking of how values are stored internally to prmon)
• Unit tests are introduced to check that monitors behave correctly when faced with unexpected readings from the system (e.g., monotonic value decreases) (#197), this relies on the GoogleTest framework
• Tests are also introduced to ensure that all expected monitored values are present in the text and JSON output files (#205)
• Python2 support is dropped in all supporting scripts
• A script to compress prmon's output files is now properly shipped in the release (prmon_compress_output.py) (#207)
