v0.0.14

[keynmol]

Very excited about this release.

Detection of system header paths was moved entirely into the bindgen binary

This means that for the most part all you need to do is run bindgen --header <header-file> --package <packagename>,
and bindgen will interrogate your global clang and ask it for system headers.

You can control the path to clang using the --no-clang-path flag, or you can pass a LLVM's bin directory using --llvm-bin, or you
can just say --no-system and no headers will be added from clang.

More types from Scala Native's posixlib are used

Instead of generating things like ptrdiff_t and ssize_t from scratch in each binding, we attempt to match them to the known posixlib type.
This should help dramatically with portability of generated bindings, but there are still caveats:

• Not all types from posixlib are currently mapped
• MacOS does weird things, reporting size_t as a type not coming from system headers and as such the bindgen doesn't attempt to fill it with posixlib version - nothing stops you from defining your own types with same name and different meaning, so we err on the side of caution

Generate .value and .apply extension methods even for non-opaque type aliases

This should help keeping the code uniform if the library in question uses a lot of aliases.

(SBT plugin) allow generating bindings in a custom folder

This closely mirrors similar facility from ScalablyTyped: https://scalablytyped.org/docs/library-developer#two-different-modes-stsourcegenmode
