Major Feature Drop 📦 + Bugfix

This release contains a critical bug fix for the flashy new account switcher that was causing a crash during token migration. It also contains all the goodies from the 0.5.0 release, which will finally be formally released!

Warning
If you're updating from an older version of Swiftcord, you might get stuck on the loading screen due to a bug in the new account storage system. Clicking the logout button that appears after ~30s is a workaround which will allow you to log in again. You'll only have to do this once.
