Issue body
### What needs to get done
Do the work to cut the next "feature" release, 1.6.0. This includes:
- Merge whatever is in-flight/review and can sensibly be merged
- Releasing new minor versions of craft-cli and craft-application
- Preparing a good user-oriented changelog describing the relevant changes in Rockcraft and and the libraries since 1.5.3
- Announce the 1.6.0 candidate and do a call for testing
### Why it needs to get done
Our last release was back in July and a *lot* has changed in the craft libraries in the meantime.
