LIBRARY API BREAKS:

  * KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)

INTERNALS:

  * Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
    (Robert Collins)

  * New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
    of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)

  * New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
    the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the 
    underlying index. (Robert Collins)
