Production Release

Changes:
HLS Streaming. Major rework of the HLS encoder to increase
multi-threading and hence performance on multi-core processors.
Removed support for generating multi-rate streams via HLS.
Added a '--server-no-deletes' switch to glasscoder(1) to suppress
DELETE transactions (useful when publishing to services such as
Akamai MSL-4 which do not require client-generated publish-point
cleanup).

Credentials Handling. Added '--credentials-file' and '--delete-credentials'
switches to glasscoder(1) while deprecating use of the '--server-auth'
switch. Also added to glasscoder(1) is the ability to use an ssh(1)
identity file (private key) for authentication when publishing HLS streams.
See the glasscoder(1) man page for details.
