Pull request #296 (2020-10-26 13:08:58)

Add support for context.Context APIs
This PR implements API changes for RFC001.

- Context
  - Remove all previous context.Context usage except for (*query.Query).Exec and sql/driver.
  - genji.New, (*database.DB).BeginTx and (engine.Engine).Begin now accept context.Context.
  - Use WithContext pattern in higher-level API.
  - (*database.DB).Begin uses context.Background() so that we don’t have to update a kazillion of transaction test cases.
- Misc
  - (engine.Engine).Begin now accepts a new engine.TxOptions struct.
  - Rename (engine.Store).NewIterator ⇒ (engine.Store).Iterator (see [Effective Go: Getters](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#Getters))
    Rename engine.IteratorConfig ⇒ engine.IteratorOptions for consistency with other option structs.
  - Add new it.Err() checks wherever Go reports compile error from the previous change.

Note that this PR does not add any new cancellation behavior.
