[ANN] raindrops 0.16.0 - real-time stats for preforking Rack servers

[Eric Wong]

raindrops is a real-time stats toolkit to show statistics for Rack HTTP
servers.  It is designed for preforking servers such as unicorn, but
should support any Rack HTTP server on platforms supporting POSIX shared
memory.  It may also be used as a generic scoreboard for sharing atomic
counters across multiple processes.

Changes:

    raindrops 0.16.0 - minor fixes and workarounds
    
    There's mainly a fix/workaround for Ruby 2.3 now returning
    locale-aware strings for File.readlink and our test suite
    using strange paths allowed by *nix.
    
    	https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12034
    
    tcp_listener_stats won't return "true" object placeholders
    if stats are configured for a non-existent listener.
    
    There are also minor optimizations for Ruby 2.2+ (at the expense
    of 2.1 and earlier).
    
    And the usual round of minor tweaks and doc updates.

          gemspec: avoid circular dependency on unicorn
