0.16: Embedded MQTT broker, Uber, Yamaha receivers and Growl

Party people, 0.16 is here! The big thing with this release is that we have completely removed the barrier to get started by MQTT by being able to launch an embedded MQTT server: hbMQTT. Just add mqtt: to your config and a broker is launched and connected with Home Assistant. See the documentation for more info.

Further in this release a bunch of cool new stuff, bug fixes and rewrites for the Vera and Tellstick component (see breaking changes section at bottom for this!).

Rock on.
