Terminator 2.0 - Migration to Gtk 3 and Python 3 complete

Full Changelog

The new major version is a culmination of more than 4 years of work moving terminator from GTK 2 to GTK3 and from Python2 to Python3. This release fixes up a bunch more of the bugs from the GTK 3 migration and Python 3 migration, as well as a change of maintainers and repositories.

There is still a lot to do, and we need more help to keep Terminator available for
your daily use.

If you are interested in contributing to the project, please contact us, open issues,
discuss issues or help with whatever you can! Any help is welcome!

Notes for packagers:

• All scripts now use #!/usr/bin/env python as shebang, when you are using
  python3 setup.py install or similar all binary scripts should be automatically
  modified to the correct shebang
• Any feedback is welcome, please open an issue or join the community channels

Implemented Enhancements

• Bold-is-Bright option #39
• Keybindings for creating group in current tab and opening preferences window, as well as keybinding improvements #209 195 #211
• Basic background image support #217
• Preference to disable Ctrl + Scroll font size change #219

Fixed Bugs
