Webgo context is now available inside middleware too!

• Added tests for router.go -> computePatternStr
• Updated awesome-go badge link.

1. Updated Logger
   • Added a new logging interface
2. Updated tests to cover more code
3. Updated responses to use constants defined in Go's http standard library instead of using
   integers for respective HTTP response codes
4. Check error while executing templates and log

Updated Middleware
- Backward incompatible updates
- CORS middleware functions are updated and now accepts list of supported/allowed domains
- The middleware functions will default to "*" if no domains are passed to the functions

All known bugs squashed.
All of the items in the wishlist completed.
Stable release :)

Minor semantic changes. Renamed middlewares to middleware. No other major change.

1. Chaining and middleware are different now
2. Cleaned up code, removed a lot of unnecessary code
3. Removed certain redundant features (like Globals)
4. Starting HTTPS server now has a different function router.StartHTTPS

P.S: This release brought in a few changes which are not backward compatible.

Minor improvement in the ServeHTTP function
