Litestream v0.5.9 update

[alxvernier]

The current Litestream-ruby gem uses Litestream 0.3.13 but there is a newer Litestream 0.5.x available which introduces several changes, mainly in the way the replicate process is handled via ltx files, a new IPC endpoint that enables to easily query the Litestream process and some configuration changes. Some more info...

This PR implement Litestream v 0.5.9 keeping the same functions as the previous gem with the following changes:

• Bump to Litestream 0.5.9: Replaced wal command with ltx command (Litestream 0.5.x changed WAL terminology to LTX)
• Updated configuration format: Config template now uses Litestream's new globals and unique replica format
• New IPC-based dashboard: Dashboard now uses Litestream's native IPC socket (/info and /list endpoints) instead of parsing CLI output
• Removed generations command: Deprecated in Litestream 0.5.x, now removed
• Removed snapshots command: Deprecated in Litestream 0.5.x,xnow removed

I will put this new version in a test environment (linux) in the next few days.

@fractaledmind I did set a 0.15.0 version for this gem, do you want another version number (0.20.0 ?) as this is a breaking change ?

• Bumped to Litestream 0.5.9 with updated binary distribution formats and architecture naming
• Replaced generations/snapshots/wal commands with single ltx command
• Implemented IPC socket-based dashboard using /info and /list endpoints instead of parsing CLI output

Is there anything I can do to help thing along? I'm more than happy to test it out if that helps.

I use it in an internal production environment with a restore verification once a day. So far so good. You can test it If you have a suitable environment.
We have to wait for this PR to be merged.
