New Netty transport

I'm happy to announce that Baizel Mathew and Steven Wong have written a new transport protocol using Netty!

Read Baizel's announcement here: [1]; for the code look here: [2].

I anticipate that the Netty transport will replace TCP_NIO2 over time.

The maven coordinates are:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jgroups</groupId>
  <artifactId>jgroups-netty</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0.Alpha2</version>
</dependency>

Thanks, Baizel and Steven, for your contribution!
