Nova version 0.8.1

[burbas]

Bugfixes from 0.8.0

• Fix a problem with static pages being displayed wrong
• Fix problems with calling cowboy modules from Nova

Highlights (From 0.8.0)

• New routing system based on the radix tree algorithm. This enables us to do things like detecting non-determinism. The new routing system is a cowboy middleware which removes the need for using cowboys own version.
• The plugin handling system is slightly rewritten as a cowboy middleware. This gives us better performance with incoming requests.
• ErlDB was added to provide database abstraction layer. It's still in a very early beta, but it enables the user to more conveniently create and use other nova-applications which relies on databases. Models are written as erlang terms and compiled into a parameterized module which gives the developer a sense of objects. Read more about it in the ErlDB-repository: https://github.com/erldb/erldb
