GNU Parallel 20160101alpha released

[Ole Tange]

GNU Parallel 20160101alpha has been released. It is available for
download at: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parallel/

I would appreciate if people tried out the new features and walked
through the tutorial to see if something is missing or broken.

New in this release:

* --sql DBURL uses DBURL as storage for jobs and output. It does not
run any jobs so it requires at least one --sqlworker. DBURL must point
to a table.

* --sqlworker DBURL gets jobs from DBURL and stores the result back to DBURL.

* --sqlandworker is a shorthand for --sql and --sqlworker.

* --sqlworker requires the output of a single job to fit in memory.

* --results now also saves a file called 'seq' containing the sequence number.

* If $PARALLEL_ENV is a file, then that file will be read into $PARALLEL_ENV.

* man parallel_tutorial has been given an overhaul.

* Bug fixes and man page updates.

GNU Parallel - For people who live life in the parallel lane.
