Changes from Restler 1.0

Restler 2.0 is a major rewrite to use convention over configuration and it is optimized for performance. Here are some of the major changes and improvements

PHPDoc comments to map a method to URI is now optional.
All public methods that does not begin with an underscore are mapped automatically to the method name (gateway\classname\methodname\param1\...)
If we do not specify the second parameter for $restler->addAPIClass it will be mapped to the class name instead of mapping it to the root
Restler 2 is written for PHP 5.3 and above but it make use of compat.php and work on any version of PHP starting from PHP 5.0
