H2Integrate - v0.3.0

What's changed

This release features a large-scale framework overhaul as we increase H2Integrate's modularity and capabilities.
We introduce a new core framework that uses OpenMDAO to handle the data-passing, model debugging, and optimization capabilities used in H2Integrate.
This release is missing some features previously available in H2Integrate; please use v0.2.0 for the prior framework with additional features.
Future efforts and releases will expand the capabilities of H2Integrate.
