Release kmscon-7

This is kmscon-7. See ./NEWS for a list of new features.

Unfortunately, github disabled the "Downloads" section so there is no way
to upload new pre-generated tarballs. I have a pending application to move
kmscon to freedesktop.org, but it didn't get processed in time for this
release. Therefore, you need to build the GNU-autotools files yourself.
That is, before calling ./configure you need to call:
  NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh

You can extend your build-scripts with:
  test -f ./configure || NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh

Which will call ./autogen.sh if needed. Everything else can be left
unchanged.

I will not upload the tarballs at another location. Feel free to do that
yourself, but I personally think this will introduce more confusion than
help. I hope the freedesktop.org move will be soon approved. This will
also provide a mailing-list where I can properly announce new releases.

Raw tarballs will be available as (without pre-generated autotools):
  https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.tar.gz
  https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/archive/kmscon-7.zip

The git-tag is: kmscon-7
You can use my public GPG key to verify the tarballs.

As usual, please report bugs to: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon

still not considered stable so don't package them separately! Feel
free to link them statically.
* An experimental unfinished version of the UVT library has been added.
Use it only for testing purposes. The next kmscon release will include
documentation and more.
UVT implements virtual terminals in user-space. It will soon replace
the cdev-sessions in kmscon.
* Lots of bug-fixes!
