[Golist] Major update! Version 0.5.0

[Moses Gunesch]

Just to clarify a little, the main thing that changes the way we all  
work with GoASAP is #2 in the list below: the Playstates class.  
Instead of PlayableBase.PLAYING for example (or just PLAYING from  
within the class), you will need to use PlayStates.PLAYING.

That has been updated in LinearGo and the utilities and test files  
already. So, it might be that you don't have to make any changes to  
your API code at all!

But it does change the way that your users will reference play states  
on tweens, groups and sequences.

Like,

var t:HydroTween = HydroTween.go({...});
t.pause();
trace( (t.state==PlayStates.PAUSED) );
