This release features some changes to Conexus that include
restructuring some classes, flattening the inheritance
hierarchy in some places, and adding/extending support for
new Endpoints such as the MessageQueue endpoint which provides
support for kernel message queues.

Perhaps the single largest change is the approach taken with
the Data object, which now maintains internal storage as a
smart pointer and provides an interface for managing the
contained storage allowing for better copy semantics.

Additionally, the read/write hierarchy has been modified
to allow Endpoints to be created easier through inheritance,
and also adds threading support.

    Made the Data item a proxy to an internal storage item for syntactic
reasons.

  Conexus::Address: Changed the sockaddr_storage member to a union of various
    socket API address types for convenience.

  addresses to the PO set.
  
  IPv6::UDPPoset: Added more overloaded add_destination() methods for adding
  addresses to the PO set.

  IPv4::Address: Added changed signals for the address, port and prefix.

  IPv6::Address:

    Added changed signals for address, port, prefix, flow id and scope id.
  
  IPv4::IP:
    Added a virtual base method for connecting to an address.
    Added a virtual base method for returning the local address.
    Added overloaded virtual base methods for setting the remote
    address from a uint32_t or a hostname string.

  IPv4::TCP: Added overloaded create() methods to accept uint32_t or hostname
string.

  IPv6::IP:
    Added a virtual base method for connecting to an address.
    Added a virtual base method for returning the local address.
    Added overloaded virtual base methods for setting the remote
    address from a uint32_t, struct in6_addr, or a hostname string.

  IPv6::TCP: Added overloaded create() methods to accept uint32_t, in6_addr
or hostname string.

  IPv6::TCPServer: Added overloaded create() methods to accept uint32_t, in6_addr
or hostname string.
