Version 1.7.0 of the Amazon Kinesis Client Library

* Add support for time based iterators ([See GetShardIterator Documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/latest/APIReference/API_GetShardIterator.html))
  * [PR #94](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/94)
  The `KinesisClientLibConfiguration` now supports providing an initial time stamp position.
  * This position is only used if there is no current checkpoint for the shard.
  * This setting cannot be used with DynamoDB Streams
  Resolves [Issue #88](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/issues/88)
* Allow Prioritization of Parent Shards for Task Assignment
  * [PR #95](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/95)
  The `KinesisClientLibconfiguration` now supports providing a `ShardPrioritization` strategy.  This strategy controls how the `Worker` determines which `ShardConsumer` to call next.  This can improve processing for streams that split often, such as DynamoDB Streams.
* Remove direct dependency on `aws-java-sdk-core`, to allow independent versioning.
  * [PR #92](https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-client/pull/92)
  **You may need to add a direct dependency on aws-java-sdk-core if other dependencies include an older version.**

To make it easier for developers to write record processors in other languages, we have implemented a Java based daemon, called MultiLangDaemon that does all the heavy lifting. Our approach has the daemon spawn a sub-process, which in turn runs the record processor, which can be written in any language. The MultiLangDaemon process and the record processor sub-process communicate with each other over [STDIN and STDOUT using a defined protocol][multi-lang-protocol]. There will be a one to one correspondence amongst record processors, child processes, and shards. For Python developers specifically, we have abstracted these implementation details away and [expose an interface][kclpy] that enables you to focus on writing record processing logic in Python. This approach enables KCL to be language agnostic, while providing identical features and similar parallel processing model across all languages.
