OpenBolt

This is the first release that supports the Choria transport! Right now, it only supports running tasks, scripts, and commands. Tasks can be run either via Choria's bolt_tasks agent (default) or the shell agent. Scripts and commands must use shell agent. See the associated Choria docs in the repo for more details on how it works and the roadmap to full functionality.
