Prepare v1.12.0 for release

[jgabry]

We need to release bayesplot before the next ggplot2 to avoid some test failures on CRAN.

What is the timeline on this? I see the ggplot2 release Issue and PR were created yesterday, but they seem to be just waiting for approval from CRAN, so I imagine this bayesplot release is also on a very expedited schedule?

[jgabry]

Yeah I think we should do it this week. If you have things to add to bayesplot that aren’t ready yet I’m happy to do another release very soon after this one.

• The failure on Ubuntu with the old version of R is due to small differences in the SVGs for the visual tests. I can't tell the difference by eye. This seems to happen from time to time with different versions of R.

• Currently running reverse dependency checks. If no issues I will go ahead and merge this PR and submit the release.
