Title: Snuffleupagus 0.6.0 - Elephant in the room

I just published a new release of
[Snuffleupagus](https://github.com/jvoisin/snuffleupagus/releases/tag/v0.6.0),
the `0.6.0`, codename "Elephant in the room"

Like the previous release, this one is signed with my [personal
key](https://dustri.org/pub/pubkey.asc)
(`9FCDEE9E1A381F311EA62A7404D041E8171901CC`), instead of the *NBS System* one
(`498C46FF087EDC36E7EAF9D445414A82A9B22D78`).

The biggest change is that when running without a `sp.configuration_file`
directive set, snuffleupagus will no longer block php's startup, but will spit
a warning and disable itself, smoothing first time deployments and solving a
lot of headaches. The rest is mostly behind the scene improvements.

# Changelog

- Allow empty configurations
- More constification
- Snuffleupagus should now be able to get client's ip addresses in more cases
- Documented compatibility with Heroku
- Improved logging
- Added a couple of tests

Also, it's worth mentioning that Snuffleupagus is now [available in Alpine
Linux](https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/tree/master/testing/php7-snuffleupagus).

As usual, if you want to help, we have some [low hanging fruits](
