ANNOUNCE: p11-kit 0.19.1

[Stef Walter]

This is an unstable development release. It introduces a some new
refactored API, and unfortunately deprecates some commonly used functions.

As discussed earlier on the mailing list, this adds a dependency on
libffi. It is optional, but just barely. It is only optional because
certain embedded platforms may have difficulty with it. It is not
recommended that any distro make this a build option or build p11-kit
without libffi.

The reason for the API change, is that we need multiple callers of
p11-kit to keep their own state and PKCS#11 module pointers, rather than
relying on a global list.
