Getting ready for 0.3.0

So far, here's the list of major updates for Abdera 0.3.0.  In a few
minutes I'm going to look at the dependencies again and see if we can
move up to the latest versions. After that, if there are no objections,
I'd like to go ahead and create the 0.3.0 branch.

 * Refactored and simplified the Server framework code
 * Refactored and simplified the Client code
 * Added support for parsing and writing compressed streams

   for extension elements
 * New wrapper classes so extensions can easily extend Person
   and DateTime elements
 * New model elements that hide the underlying Axiom objects when
   using XPath
 * Support for xml:text and a new parser option to preserve or ignore
   insignificant whitespace
 * New Reader implementation that can filter illegal XML characters out
   of a stream.  New parser option to enable use of the reader

   output, the charset used, and whether to automatically close the
   stream
