Release proposal: 1.9

[kkoopa]

Let's get this out before io.js 3.0 is out, so the 1-series can be laid to rest. There will be no more features added to NAN 1 ever.

Only sort of open issue is #362, but I believe it might be erroneous somehow since all our tests pass and the code is rather straightforward. If it is real it can be fixed in a patch release.

👍 what's the delta between 1.8.4 and this?

[kkoopa]

Insignificant, IIRC. A couple deprecations, some small additions. The deprecations could even be undone. So much will change that a migratory path through deprecations won't work. There would be hardly any non-deprecated functionality left.

Basically just to tie up a few loose ends and say goodbye to NAN 1.

great, looks like a changelog entry to me! do eeet!

[kkoopa]

I'll probably have time today, yes. Think I'll do the backports too. That takes slightly longer.

1.9.0 is already released and this is mentioned in the changelog.
