htmx 1.6.1 Release

I'm happy to announce the 1.6.1 release of htmx.

A new HX-Retarget header allows you to change the default target of returned content
The htmx:beforeSwap event now includes another configurable property: detail.isError which can be used to indicate if a given response should be treated as an error or not
The htmx:afterRequest event has two new detail properties: success and failed, allowing you to write trigger filters in htmx or hyperscript:
applescript
```
  on htmx:afterRequest[failed]
    set #myCheckbox's checked to true
```

Fixed the from: option in hx-trigger to support closest <CSS selector> and find <CSS selector> forms
Don't boost anchor tags with an explicit target set
Don't cancel all events on boosted elements, only the events that naturally trigger them (click for anchors, submit for forms)
Persist revealed state in the DOM so that on history navigation, revealed elements are not re-requested
Process all hx-ext attributes, even if no other htmx attribute is on the element
Snapshot the current URL on load so that history support works properly after a page refresh occurs
Many, many documentation updates (thank you to all the contributors!)

Enjoy!
