0.17.0-beta.3

This release implements a new org.ajoberstar.reckon.settings plugin that can be used as an alternative to org.ajoberstar.reckon. This is applied in a settings.gradle instead of a build.gradle but is otherwise configured the same. By applying to Settings, it will run and be configured before any projects are evaluated, which should avoid the timing issues uncovered in #147.

Additionally we have improvements to version inference logic. Our prior parallel version logic allowed reckon to increment by the requested scope a second time in order to avoid a parallel version. However, if that version is also in the parallel branch, it would fail saying the version was already claimed.

In the new logic, you are able to set a parallelBranchScope to indicate how you use your parallel branches. For example, people use branches like maintenance/1.2.x should set it to MINOR. Users of branches like maintenance/2.x should set it to MAJOR.

When reckon identifies a conflict with a parallel branch, it will increment by the greater of the user-provided scope and parallelBranchScope.

 O abc123
 O abc124 (v1.2.0)
 | \
 |  O abc125 (v1.2.1)
 O abc126

In the old logic, commit abc126 would infer as 1.2.2-alpha.0.1+abc126 where in the new logic (with parallelBranchScope=MINOR) it would infer as 1.3.0-alpha.0.1+abc126.
