Release Name: 2.0.0

Notes:
sleepy_penguin 2.0.0

sleepy_penguin provides access to newer, Linux-only system calls to wait
on events from traditionally non-I/O sources.  Bindings to the eventfd,
timerfd, inotify, signalfd and epoll interfaces are provided.

* sleepy.penguin@librelist.com
* git://bogomips.org/sleepy_penguin.git

Changes:

There are many internal cleanups, bugfixes, and incompatible
API changes.  The API will probably be stable from now on.

All the flag passing is less verbose, in the past you had
to do:

    tfd = TimerFD.new(TimerFD::CLOEXEC|TimerFD::NONBLOCK)

Now, you can just do (the old way still works):

    tfd = TimerFD.new([:CLOEXEC, :NONBLOCK])

A SignalFD interface now exists, but is not recommended since
MRI signal handling seems to conflict with it.

Inotify#close no longer holds the GVL while closing the
descriptor since it is an expensive operation.

See git log v1.4.0..v2.0.0 for all the gory details.
