This release adds support for libnl-2.0 and introduces a runtime loadable
modules API for implementing ntrack backends. This lead to a few code cleanups
and refactoring. API is not considered stable enough to export as a public API.
But build/code wise this is already prepared; once the API can be frozen
backends can be contributed from outside of ntrack.

Fixed Bugs:
* lp:661769 - building in a build/ directory fails to find pyntrack-gmonitor.override
* lp:686554 - change from deprecated libnl-1 to libnl-2
* lp:692703 - mtest-gmonitor.py segfauls in latest lp:ntrack revno. 235
* lp:692245 - add support for pluggable backends

Known Issues:
* no Qt python wrappers yet - lp:505672
