[guardian-dev] IOCipher v0.2 release!

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

After unexpected complexity for adding mount/unmount logic and lots of
testing, I think IOCipher v0.2 is ready for release. It can be used as an
Android library project:
git clone https://github.com/guardianproject/IOCipher

Or as a jar with native .so files:
https://guardianproject.info/releases/IOCipher-v0.2.zip
https://guardianproject.info/releases/IOCipher-v0.2.zip.sig

There is a simple example app demonstrating how to plug IOCipher into a file
browser app, and the test suite can also be useful for examples:
https://github.com/guardianproject/IOCipherExample
https://github.com/guardianproject/IOCipherTests

It is meant to be used with SQLCipher v3.1.0.  Using this version of IOCipher
with an older version of SQLCipher will have unknown consequences, and
upgrading old versions of SQLCipher-for-Android is pretty straightforward:

Notable changes:

* file size no longer limited to device's RAM size

* VirtualFileSystem now is a singleton since only one VFS at a time
  can be mounted

* byte[] and SecretKey methods for easy inter-operability with CacheWord

* sqlfscat command line utility for reading from a sqlfs db file aka
  IOCipher VFS

* x86 and armeabi-v7a support

* android-9 (2.3) is now the minimum platform

* `ant clean debug` builds everything, including the native bits

Coming very soon: an updated release CacheWord that is meant to work in sync
with this IOCipher update.
