Version 0.6

[andrewkesper]

This new version brings numerous improvements and fixes issue #6.

Notable changes:

• Addresses can now exist in more than one index
• Addresses are indexed by the street number and individual words in the street name and suburb. (In previous versions addresses were only indexed by the street name)
• New option abortPrevious intended for use with search-as-you-type interfaces. When enabled, any unresolved geocode promises will be rejected (by throwing a GeocodeAbortError). Pending HTTP requests that are no longer needed are aborted
• Data comes from GNAF release 202208 (using the GDA2020 coordinate system)
• Data gzipped to level 11 using the zopfli algorithm
• More flexible phonetic matching, based on first letter of word and first two characters of the word's metaphone
• Cache the results of the 100 most recent geocode requests
• Promise.then replaced with async/await to avoid nested callbacks
• startTime added to output, in case you need to verify the order of multiple geocode responses
• group removed from output. It used to show which data file was used by the geocoder. In this version multiple data files are used. I think the information is mostly useless so I've opted to remove it instead of replacing it with an array
