Summary of changes

• Garbage collect most of the library.
• All free functions have been removed. The expectation is that they will be collected by the GC.
• All init options methods have been removed. They were never supposed to be exposed in the first place.
• Added support for performing history walks on directories.
• Fix various bugs that led to segfaults or incorrect behavior.
• Removed ssl and crypto dependency from non-electron builds.
