Release 1.2

It has been long overdue. Let's serialize the world!

Some important changes since 1.1:

- Can serialize metatables now (optionally disabled with `bitser.includeMetatables`)
- Added an extension API
- Removed support for cdata, which was just too buggy to hold on. More robust support would probably need to depend on ffi-reflect, which is best done by an extension library
