Proxy 2.0.0 is Now Available!

After a whole year of evolution, proxy has finally pumping its version to 2.0.0. This is a major update to the proxy library. Thanks to all the valuable feedback from you! A new ISO C++ proposal will soon become available with detailed technical specifications.

Here is a list of major changes comparing to 1.0.0:

1. Class templates pro::dispatch and pro::facade have been removed. Please use the new macros (starting with PRO_) to define dispatches and facades. See README for more details.
2. One dispatch now supports multiple overloads. (#43, feature suggested by @suy)
3. Pointer type requirements has been revised. proxy::invoke() is now const-qualified. (#22, #24, feature suggested by @xiaosa-zhz and @misirlou-tg).
4. proxy::operator() was added when there is only one dispatch defined in the facade.
5. struct proxiable_ptr_constraints is added as an abstraction of constraints to pointers, making it easier to learn and use. 3 prototypes are provided, while only 1 was provided in 1.0.0 due to syntax limitation. The requirements of facade are also updated. (feature suggested by @tian-lt)
6. Added concept basic_facade and facade.

Minor changes including build system improvements are listed below.
