release: prepare for 1.7.0

Written the changelog and updated package.json.

From now on, releases will be cut from develop, and merged directly into master.

Each release will be a tag on the master branch (e.g. 1.7.0).
A "release/1.7.0" branch will eventually be created only if/when a hotfix will
be needed.
