Breaking:

• Removed legacy seed configuration.
• Removed Python 3.8 support.
• Removed riak support as the client library is not maintained anymore. If you rely on the riak support you have to
  continue to use version 3.1.3 with Python 3.8.

Improvements:

• The tile removal and refresh code is improved by simplifying the usage of remove_timestamp and before_timestamp
  and complementing them by new remove_all and refresh_all parameters.
• Add a default logging config to the docker images.
• Add environment variables to the docker images to enable and configure multiapp support.
• Added a docker compose file to make it easy to run & build docker images and to use as reference.
• Updated and improved the documentation about usage of the docker images.

Maintenance:

• Use python build instead of invoking setup.py.
• Removal of the six library.
• Removed array initializers in function signatures.

Fixes:

• Added AdminstrativeArea to WMTS serviceprovider metadata.
• Fixed spelling & grammar in seed.rst.
• Fixed problem with combined usage of coverage and the remove_all cache config parameters.
• Fixed missing dimension parameters in the remove_tile functions of various caches.
