Stabilizing the API and finalizing things for a release.

• Moves to CMake as the build system
• Greatly improves the speed of the parser
• Removes nullptr as a type for null in preference of jsonv::null
• Better support for MSVC

• Creates null to be used in place of nullptr
• Adds the ability to set the default size of tokenizer's buffer
• Fixes issue in parsing where string divisions on buffer boundaries would yield incorrect results (and potentially crash)

The focus of this release is extensible serialization between JSON values and C++ types.

• Creates formats, extractor, serializer and adapter classes
• Creates the extract and to_json free functions for conversion
• Creates the Serialization Builder DSL for easily making type adapters
• Adds support for compiling with GCC and Clang on Windows with Cygwin
• Adds experimental support for Microsoft Visual Studio 14 (CTP 5)
• Adds the value::is_X convenience functions for checking kind values.

• Adds reverse iteration to array_view and object_view
• Adds the map algorithm
• Adds the diff algorithm
• Adds value::count_path
• Fixes issue in parsing where large inputs would buffer incorrectly
