v0.6.0 OpenVINO exporter, model cards, and various quality of life improvements 🔥

To bring in the new year, this release comes with many bug fixes and quality of life improvements around using SetFit models. It also provides:

• an OpenVINO exporter that you can optimise your models for inference with. Check out the notebooks for an example.
• a dedicated model card with metadata and usage instructions. See here for an example output from push_to_hub(): https://huggingface.co/lewtun/setfit-new-model-card
