aMule 3.1.0 released!

And here we are again, the third time this year!

We have an immense amount of work done here, thanks to everyone involved.

The largest release since the 3.0.0 rebirth: 893 merged PRs on top of 3.0.1. The headline is a new way to drive aMule - amuleapi, a REST + Server-Sent-Events daemon shipping a complete new Web UI that covers the same ground as the desktop GUI. Around it landed transfer-performance work that lifts real-world throughput, authenticated encryption for External Connect, a top-to-bottom modernization of the GUI list controls, media metadata that now travels end to end, searches that survive a restart, a dedicated Clients page, and a sweep of memory and CPU work across the daemon, the remote GUI and the API.

Upgrading is a drop-in. No config migration, and nothing an older build cannot read back: the new per-peer metadata rides in an appended clients.met trailer that every existing reader ignores (#902), and EC encryption is negotiated per session and off by default, so older amulegui / amulecmd clients keep connecting untouched (#714).
