Adding gitter badge in preparation of disabling issues.

Here are the main reasons we're doing this:

* We get lots of issues from users that are of the 'Hey debug this for me' type.
* The amount of issues we get prevents us from adequately addressing PRs.
* If we solely focused our efforts on PRs, we'd likely get more PRs in and advance the library faster.
* Given the volume of issues we receive and the number of open issues we have open, users are less inclined to use  in the fear that is is overly buggy.
* We have so many open issues it's almost impossible to know which ones are still valid.
* Github issues aren't the best mechanism for community support.  Something like Google Groups or Gitter would best serve the interests of most issues we receive.
