Release 0.12.6 of the Amazon Kinesis Producer Library

* Added Windows support
  The 0.12.x version now supports Windows.
  The Windows version is currently mastered on the branch `windows`, which will be merged at a later date.
  The build instructions for Windows are currently out of date, and will be updated at a later date.__
  * Issue awslabs#113
  * Issue awslabs#74
  * Issue awslabs#73
* Removed the libc wrapper
  The libc wrapper lowered the required version of glibc.  The KPL is now built with an older version of libc, which removes the need for the wrapper.
  * PR awslabs#139
* Set the minimum required version of macOS to 10.9.
  The KPL is now built against macOS 10.9.
  * Issue awslabs#117
  * PR awslabs#138

* Allow exceptions to bubble to the thread exception handler for Daemon threads.
  Exceptions that occur on daemon threads will now be allowed to propagate to the thread exception handler.  This doesn't provide any additional monitoring or handling of thread death.
  * PR awslabs#112
  * Issue awslabs#111
* Updated `amazon-kinesis-producer-sample` to use the correct properties in its configuration file.
  * PR awslabs#120
  * Issue awslabs#119
* Updated documentation of `AggregationMaxSize` to match actual Kinesis limits.
  * PR awslabs#133
* Added support for setting `ThreadingModel`, and `ThreadPoolSize` using a properties file.
  * PR awslabs#134
  * Issue awslabs#124
* Extracted `IKinesisProducer` from `KinesisProducer` to allow for easier testing.
  * PR awslabs#136
