We changed an aweful lot of stuff, so 5.0 is properly better than 4.X as
a semantic version and as we are at it lets add some trivial symbol
versioning as well: We just mark all exported symbols with the same
version for now. This isn't really the proper thing to do as if we add
symbols in later versions (with the same abi) they will get the same
symbols version, but our .symbols file will protect us from the problems
arising from this as it will ensure that a package acutally depends on a
version of the abi high enough to include the symbol.

cxx11abi transition happens, we changed a bunch of methods and all that
stuff which is really good™ for an abi. Lets just slowly start to stop
changing more and a first step is to document the current so changes
aren't hidding in a big wall of change anymore.

We have a d-pointer available here, so go ahead and use it which also
helps in hidding some dirty details here. The "hard" part is keeping the
abi for the inlined methods so that they don't break – at least not more
than before as much of the point beside a speedup is support for more
than 256 fields in a single section.

Adding a new parameter (with a default) is an ABI break, but you can
overload a method, which is "just" an API break for everyone doing
references to this method (aka: nobody).

We have a bunch of classes which are of no use for the outside world,
but were still exported and so needed to preserve ABI/API. Marking them
as hidden to not export them any longer is a big API break in theory,
but in practice nobody is using them – as if they would its a bug.

We can't add a new virtual method without breaking the ABI, but we can
freely add new methods, so for older ABIs we just implement this method
with a dynamic_cast, so that clients can be more ignorant about the API
here and especially don't need to pull a very dirty trick by assuming
internal knowledge (like apt-get did here).
