Updated versions, and added release notes.

* ListShards supoorts higher call rate, which should reduce instances of throttling when attempting to synchronize the shard list.
* Updated the version of AWS Java SDK to 1.11.272.
* Version 1.11.272 is now the minimum support versiojn of the SDK.
* Deprecated the following methods, and classes. These methods, and classes will be removed in a future release.

This adds that ability for the KCL to fetch records while the record processor is busy. This can help smooth out delays in record process, or retrieving data from Kinesis. Enabling this does require extra threads for background retrieval.
Settings
* dataFetchingStrategy: Which strategy to use to retrieve records. This can be either DEFAULT or PREFETCH_CACHED
* maxCacheByteSize: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of bytes in the cache exceeds this value
* maxRecordsCount: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of records in the cache exceeds this value
* maxPendingProcessRecordsInput: Retrieval will be paused when the total number of fulfilled requests in the cache exceeds this value
