Restore support for gcc-4.8.
@remyabel cleaned up some hard-coded zone names in the examples.
More experimental asynchronous APIs, including AsyncReadRows. Note that we
expect to change all these experimental APIs as described in
#1543.
@remyabel contributed changes to disable the unit and integration tests. This
can be useful for package maintainers.
New Bigtable filter wrapper that accepts a single column.
Breaking Change: remove the as_proto_move() member functions in favor
of as_proto() &&. With the latter newer compilers will warn if the object
is used after the destructive operation.

Try to use the exception mask in the IOStream classes
(storage::ObjectReadStream and storage::ObjectWriteStream). This allows
applications to check errors locally via rdstate(). Note that applications
that disable exceptions altogether must check the status() member function
for these IOStream classes. It is impossible to set the rdstate() for all
failures when exceptions are disabled.
Support reading only a portion of a Blob.
Support building with gcc-4.8.
Many internal changes to better support applications that disable exceptions.
A future release will include APIs that do not raise exceptions for error
conditions.
@remyabel contributed changes to disable the unit and integration tests. This
can be useful for package maintainers.
Implement a function to create signed URLs (Client::CreateV2SignedUrl).
Support resumable uploads in any upload operation.

Support compiling with gcc-4.8.
Fix GCP_LOG() macro so it works on platforms that define a DEBUG pre-processor symbol.
Use different PRNG sequences for each backoff instance, previously all the clones of a backoff policy shared the same sequence.
Workaround build problems with Xcode 7.3.
