Upgrading from 0.2.31: No backwards incompatible changes.

This release includes a slew of bug fixes and few key feature additions.

The biggest functional change is that nsqd no longer decrements its RDY count for clients. This means that client libraries no longer have to periodically re-send RDY. For some context, nsqd already provided back-pressure due to the fact that a client must respond to messages before receiving new ones. The decremented RDY count only made the implementation of the server and client more complex without additional benefit. Now the RDY command can be treated as an "on/off" switch. For details see #404 and the associated changes in nsqio/go-nsq#83 and nsqio/pynsq#98.

The second biggest change (and oft-requested feature!) is #ephemeral topics. Their behavior mirrors that of channels. This feature is incredibly useful for situations where you're using topics to "route" messages to consumers (like RPC) or when a backlog of messages is undesirable.

There are now scripts in the bench directory that automate the process of running a distributed benchmark. This is a work-in-progress, but it already provides a closer-to-production setup and therefore more accurate results. There's much work to do here!

A whole bunch of bugs were fixed - notably all were 3rd-party contributions! Thanks!
