Deprecating this library

[joelcox]

I'm no longer an active CodeIgniter user and thus find it harder to dedicate time to maintaining this library. There are some serious bugs which need to be taken care of, but fixing them has been shown to be difficult. The PHP landscape has changed dramatically in the past few years, favoring framework independent packages, enabled by things like Composer/Packagist.

After 148 stars and 63 forks I plan on deprecating this library next week. The source will remain available on GitHub, but I'll encourage new users to use Predis instead. This is also the recommended update path for existing users.

Thank you for using this library. I also want to extend my thanks to every contributor who helped fixing bugs and/or worked on adding cool features.
