Release 0.3.0

I see that you're changing the errors a bit. One thing I've on my todo list (which I haven't found the time to do yet :( is trying to add the offset to the error messages. When decoding it's really helpful to see where it happened. But that could also be something that can be added later. I just want to bring it up, in case it makes sense to do it for the 0.3.0 release.

I thought about adding an offset, but most it's not needed and it would increase the size of error type. for this PR, I intentionally optimized the size of error so that it is only 2 word on 64bit platform.

It would be better to have a custom Read record the offset, and get it on error.

like

struct Reader(..);

impl Reader {
    pub fn offset(&self) -> usize;
}

let mut reader = Reader::new();

if let Err(err) = Target::decode(&mut reader) {
    println!("error: {:?} offset:{}", err, reader.offset());
}

The BytesSequence based decode_stack_cow enables short strings called via from_reader to be allocated on stack, but it is slower for from_slice.

This is not acceptable and I need more time to optimize it.

Since almost all my use cases are for &[u8], I have lost interest in optimizing BytesSequence for time being. implementing it in future won't break API, so I decided not to block 0.3.
