1.4.1

Changes

• Suppress RtMidi warnings to stderr, so that warnings issued in the
  constructor of the RtMidiIn/Out C++ class instances before the
  default error handler function can be attached, don't end up in the
  output.

  The suppression of RtMidi warnings can be disabled at compile time
  by setting the pre-compiler define __RTMIDI_SUPPRESS_WARNINGS__
  via a command line option to setup.py.

  As before, RtMidi warnings are turned into Python a UserWarning
  as soon as the default error handler is attached, but this can only
  happen after the RtMidi C++ class has been instantiated (#59).

• Allow deletion of internal C++ RtMidiIn/Out instance via new
  delete method of rtmidi.MidiIn and rtmidi.MidiOut
  instances (but see warning in docstring!). Also added a
  is_deleted property to both classes (#60).
