Release highlights:

* We added quite a few docstrings, and a test that will fail if something
  is missing docstrings.

* We're more tolerant of missing fields in the output of `network-get`,
  which can happen in some situations.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

* Charm authors can run `self.config` from a charm method instead of having
  to do `self.model.config`.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

* Some ways of installing `ops` can result in not loading the `libyaml`
  extensions from PyYAML, giving a performance penalty. `ops` will warn
  when this happens so it can be remedied, but it would also warn when
  running the test suite which raises the barrier for developers wanting to
  contribute to `ops` itself. So now we ignore that.
  Thanks to @johnsca for this one.

* The `hooks_disabled` context manager can now be nested.
  Thanks to @stub42 for this one.

* When using Juju for storage (either automatically by running on
  kubernetes with a new enough Juju, or manually via passing
  `use_juju_for_storage=True` to main), events defered would never be
  re-emitted. This is #438, found with help from @davigar15.

* ObjectEvents now have a `__repr__` which lists all events it knows about,
  which can be helpful when debugging (or even developing) a complex charm.

* `sys.breakpointhook` is only set from `main`, not from
  `Framework.__init__`, meaning it won't interfere with using the
  `breakpoint()` builtin from tests.

* tests will now fail if a docstring is missing (or malformed).
