* Problem: Macros not defined in older versions
Solution: Guard usage of libzmq macros
* Test older version of libzmq with C++11 or later
* Use a slightly newer libzmq version
Solution: Define an enum class for the context options

Solution: Add shutdown(). This function is required
for clean termination of the zmq context in multi-threaded
applications where sockets are used in threads. In particular
if blocking operation are used and if sockets can be created
at any time.
* Improve tests and documentation
Solution: Implement for socket_t, context_t, message_t and poller_t
Additionally remove dependency on <functional> by refactoring poller_t
and remove unused <unordered_map> include.
Currently cppzmq as relatively simple and header only library depends on rather
complex unit test framework googletest.
Current issues:
- Googletest requires downloading and building it every time on travis
as cache support is limited there
- Googletest build is signifficant with comparison to cppzmq unittests
total runtime
Solution: Port existing tests to Catch - header only C++ framework and
gain ~20% build speed up on travis.
Why Catch?
It is well know C++ header only testing framework. It works well, it is
being kept up to date and maintainers seem to pay attention to
community's comments and issues.
We can not use Catch2 currently as we still support pre-C++11 compilers.
For header only library like cppzmq, whitespace style inherited from
libzmq is too restrictive.
Solution: relaxing whitespace before parens from always to in control
statements only, increased max column width from 80 to 85 and removing
requirement of whitespace after template keyword.
