v1.0.3

FIXED:
* Link in README
* ReadConnResponse was not properly reading in the response status byte
  before checking the checksum, leading to receiving/parsing Response
  messages from a net.Conn *always* failing with an errs.ErrBadHdr.
  This has been rectified.

 ** This of course won't work for serializing and keeping *order* of children (e.g. RG => Record); that'd still need to be ordered, but it will allow for parallel parsing *of* those children. Should benchmark, though; it may not be worth it.
 * `context.Context` support for `Read*` and `Write*` funcs
 ** This is a relatively low priority as the passed `net.Conn` will likely return an error if its own context is canceled. This can be handled in the caller downstream.
