Crunchy Container Suite Release 1.2.7

this release includes the following:

• major refactor of Openshift template examples

• split out the GIS packages from crunchy-postgres, now they live in a new container crunchy-postgres-gis, the functionality and user facing interfaces are all the same
• added initial StatefulSet support and example. Starting with Kube 1.5, StatefulSets replace PetSets, using StatefulSets, the Crunchy Postgres container can deploy within a StatefulSet, and use a simple discovery technique to determine which container will become the master in a Postgres cluster configuration.
• added a signal handler to the crunchy-collect server to enable a faster and more clean shutdown of pods that include the collect container
• add WAIT_TIME env var to crunchy-watch to allow the time between labeling and failover configurable
