Coro-3.0 - coroutine process abstraction

Changes for version 3.0 - 2006-12-03

the "FINALLY COMPLETELY STABLE" release (coming soon: the "FAMOUS LAST WORDS" release).
implement a new stack sharing algorithm, which uses a stack pool (size currently hardcoded).
make stack sharing mandatory (it no longer uses a heuristic).
eval/die no longer cause weird problems under heavy use.
Coro::Event could cause livelocks if it was used but no Coro::Event watchers were used.
Coro::Event now uses asynccheck as prepare does not check for changed watchers.
Coro::Event allows multiple waiting coros and will wake up one per event.
Coro::Event should be cleaner and more efficient now.
new utility function Coro::unblock_sub.
document the sad fact that Event is no longer reentrant.
putting a coroutine into the ready queue twice could under some circumstances lead to stack corruption.
minor incompatibility: subclassing Coro::State is supported directly now without going through a _coro_state member.
state/coro switching is much faster now.
very minor optimisations and code/documentation cleanup.
avoid problems due to compiler inlining.
removed timers from Coro::Timer -> use AnyEvent instead.
replaced Coro::idle coroutine by (cleaner) idle handler.
updated to newest libcoro.
implement enhanced support for valgrind.
implement is_ready and return value for ready.
removed Coro::Cont, it was a misnomer (it's generators), and it was somewhat annoying to get it right. Will come back if somebody asks for it :)
many ->wait methods and Coro::Event could return spuriously without the event having happened.
