Bump version to 1.7.1, update changelog
Avoid cyclic deps when installing

If the pycassa module is imported in setup.py,
it will currently end up trying to import thrift. This
causes issues when installing pycassa, as thrift may not
yet be available.
Introduce SASL transport support

While the TSaslClientTransport is not in mainline thrift,
it will be bundled in the connection module.

The user may now provide a transport_factory function that
will be used to create transports for new connections. As a
convenience, the pycassa.connection.make_sasl_transport_factor()
function will capture SASL parameters in a closure and return
a factory function, but the user is also free to define their
own factory function.
