100% test code coverage.
Re-wrote much of the internals.
Performance greatly improved, especially with large lists.

serialize is deprecated and replaced by data.
render(callback) is deprecated to render().done() deferreds only.
Automatically unbind model and collection events inside cleanup.
Backbone.LayoutView, Backbone.Layout, and Backbone.View(withmanageset totrue`) are now all identical.
