Minor changes

• Numerous documentation improvements

• Multiple small method
• OkHttp transports now start asynchronously
• NPN Fallback for Android
• Other small code cleanups
• Lots of bug fixes

As we rapidly approach our beta release, we are cleaning up our API and organizing our code to increase maintainability. All breaking changes should have clear and available alternatives (method and class renames).

This is a patch release of v0.7.x that addresses two issues:

1. a server-side memory leak when using ALPN (#598 via 492128e).
2. Fix ALPN for OkHttp transport on Android versions older than 5.0.

This is a patch release of v0.7.0 that fixes #504 (via cdd81d2). The patch addresses a race condition where multiple Netty transports can be created by the same builder, resulting in an unsharable handler being added to multiple Netty pipelines. In addition, better error handling has been added to the bootstrap of TLS pipelines in order to detect errors that occur early on in protocol negotiation that may have previously been missed.

First tagged release of gRPC-Java with artifacts and dependencies on Maven Central, complete with binary protoc plugin.

gRPC-Java is considered alpha quality and does not yet guarantee API-stability.
