[ANNOUNCE] kmod 19

[Lucas De Marchi]

kmod 19 is out:

This release includes small fixes and moving code to make it more
reliable and smaller. It's particularly important for use with systemd
217 since it adds a feature to static-nodes that is required by this
version of systemd.

- Bug fixes:
        - Fix missing CLOEXEC in library
        - Fix error message while opening kmod's index

- New features:
        - Add kmod(8) man page
        - Allow to build with libc's without be32toh()
        - Move code around separating common code and data structures into a
          shared directory. This allows to share more code between library and
          tools, making the binary size of tools smaller.
        - Clarify tools vs library licenses
        - static-nodes: when writing in tmpfiles format, indicate that
          creation of static nodes should only happen at boot. This is used and
          required by systemd-217+.

- Improvements to testsuite:
        - Add tests for newly created shared/ code
        - Improve how tests are declared so there's less boilerplate code for
          each test.
