- Minor refinements and speed improvements.
- Explicitly separate concurrent (multi-worker) and non-concurrent
(uni-worker) writing, so as to improve speed in the non-concurrent case.
- New methods `concurrent_append`, `concurrent_extend`.
- Renamings:
- `reset_file_iter` -> `new_concurrent_iter`
- `iter_files` -> `concurrent_iter`
- `file_iter_stat` -> `concurrent_iter_stat`
- Refactor and simplify test and build processes.
