PHP SDK 2.0.0 Developer Preview 2

I’m happy to announce the second iteration of developer preview for the new PHP SDK.  This release includes a few new minor features, but primarily consists of internal changes implemented through the use of the newly release libcouchbase 2.4.0 developer preview (read more here: https://www.couchbase.com/blog/introducing-libcouchbase-24-0).

In addition to the numerous performance and maintainability changes introduced through libcouchbase 2.4.0, we have additionally included some other minor changes:

1. The cluster bootstrap list (list of couchbase nodes) is now replaced with a powerful and flexible uri-like format.
2. Support for SSL-encrypted communications with the cluster.
3. Support for cross-SDK datatype handling.  This allows you to easily pass data between PHP and other languages supporting this feature.
