Updated version and CHANGELOG.md

• set debug name for Isolate backing an Actor (starts with Actor-0, then Actor-1 and so on).
• completed separation of actors API from actual implementation with Isolate. In the future, this may allow implementing actors with web workers.

Up version to 0.7.0-nullsafety.1

This version should only be used if you're migrating to Dart with null-safety.

• Allow Actors to send and return nullable types.

This version should only be used if you're migrating to Dart with null-safety.
