Changes since last version:
* Move code to Alice-LG GitHub organization
* Include caching information alongside ttl
* Repair endpoint 'protocols'
* Documentation on interpretation of route count numbers
* Improve example configuration
* Caching of parsed responses from birdc.
Eliminates an additional parser run for cache hits.
* Fix quotes in arguments of birdc commands in Routes{Table,Lookup}* methods.
This eliminates the "IP address expected" error in BIRD.
Changes since last version:
* Parser: protocol parser can now parse all types of protocols
* Parser: improved parsing of route change statistics
* Add TLS support for the HTTP listener
* Configuration: add new option for TLS 'enable_tls', 'crt' and 'key'
* Improved logging of API requests, similar to a webserver
* Execute birdc in restricted mode 'birdc -r'
Changes since last version:
* Fix detection of BIRD v2.x.y
* Fix birdc command in RoutesFiltered
* Use worker-threads to parse in parallel.
This speeds up parsing of large responses e.g. BGP full-table.
* Add flag "worker-pool-size" to control number of threads while parsing
* Configuration: add setting for ttl value to control caching of bird responses
* Configuration: change default location to /etc/birdwatcher
Changes since last version:
* Parser: support BIRD v2.x with multiprotocol BGP and channels
* Parser: major refactoring
* Parser: decrease memory footprint
* use io.Reader interface
* use line-iterator for birdc output
* Detection of BIRD v1.6.x or BIRD v2.x
* Extend test coverage for IPv6
* Tests for BIRD v2.x and IPv4
* Dependencies managed by now managed by dep
Includes an updated CHANGELOG reaching back to 1.10.0.
This additionally caches the results after matching regular
expressions and improves performance further.

The commands submitted to birdc contain "'" characters
placed before and after ip-address/prefix and table
name. In normal operation of birdc they are eliminated
by the shell. However when given as arguments to birdc
directly they cause "IP address expected" error in Bird.
Credits: Felix Singer for finding and submitting this bug.
The method parseBgp is now generic enough to parse
all types of protocols.
Added new regular expressions and a more flexible
way of processing route_change statistics that have
subtle differences in each protocol.
For bird and bird6 you may add ttl to the respective config file sections.
See example config in this commit.
This allows to have individual ttls for the cache of bird cli output per daemon.
