Windows appears to not enjoy relative path names for exectuables so
hopefully this fixes things there.

Fixes #83

Allow Jiffy to be used easily in projects using either rebar 2 or 3.

Use the common CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS used on Linux/FreeBSD/etc also
on GNU/Hurd.

This is motivated by issue #60 to see if we can get away with `-O3`
while still handling the cast of a `Decoder**` to `void**`.

Fixes #60

This patch adds initial support for decoding/encoding to/from the new
maps data type.

I'd like to thank Jihyun Yu (yjh0502) for the initial versions of this
work.

If the environment variable USE_GDB exists this plugin will pause
before the EUNIT tests so that you can attach a debugger to the VM.

Because reasons.

While using rebar's dependency management was surprisingly easy it
broke apps that tried to build Jiffy as a dependency due to relative
path #includes.

This also fixes a few other issues. Most notably it removes the use of
the ECMAScript compatible encoding due to JSON's lack of support for +/-
Inf and NaN.

Floating point numbers are no longer encoded as a one to one mapping
of their binary representation, but as short as possible (while still
being acurate). The double-conversion library [1] is used to do the
hard work.

The ECMAScript compatible conversion is used.

I must've originally copied this config from Emonk.

- Include Windows preprocessor definitions that rebar is missing
- Minor changes to optimisation flags

This prevents applications that depend on Jiffy from requiring PropEr as
a dependency just to run Jiffy's full test suite. If you want to run the
full test suite you'll have to run Jiffy's Makefile directly which
creates a `.jiffy.dev` marker that enables the full test suite.

I've had reports that HTTPS seems to fail a bit more often than the Git
URLs. I've seen this before as well so I've gone ahead and switched
protocols for the clone.

* Update rebar to a more recent version
  * Update rebar.config for deprecation warnings
  * Allow people to export the REBAR environment variable to use
    their own version of rebar
  * Fixed `make clean`

Big thanks to Dmitry Groshev [1] for help getting PropEr tests into
Jiffy. These generate valid EJSON to check parsing as well as check
that random inputs don't cause segfaults or other nasty effects.

Future improvements would be to write a JSON generator as well as a
version that introduces known errors into the binary for checking known
parsing errors as well.
