v0.8.0 — Type annotations; drop pre-Python 3.6

- Drop support for Python 2.7, 3.4, and 3.5
- Support Python 3.9
- `ensure_ascii` parameter added to `PropertiesFile.dump()` and `PropertiesFile.dumps()`
- **Bugfix**: When parsing XML input, empty `<entry>` tags now produce an empty string as a value, not `None`
- Added type annotations
- `Properties` and `PropertiesFile` no longer raise `TypeError` when given a non-string key or value, as type correctness is now expected to be enforced through static type checking
- The `PropertiesElement` classes returned by `parse()` are no longer subclasses of `namedtuple`, but they can still be iterated over to retrieve their fields like a tuple
