Fixed #40. Introduced EventException

Fixed issue #40: Segmentation fault when trying to serialize instance of EventHttpRequest

EventException will be thrown when the user tries to serialize or unserialize an instance of EventBase, EventHttp, EventHttpRequest, EventHttpConnection, or EventConfig

[Ruslan Osmanov]

It is very difficult (if even possible) to save and restore the state of the underlying Libevent structures. Here is a good explanation of the problem. So the classes of this extension do not support serialization.

As mentioned in the Git comment, from now on EventException will be thrown when the user tries to serialize/unserialize an instance of EventBase, EventHttp, EventHttpRequest, EventHttpConnection, or EventConfig. The rest of Event objects may be serialized without segmentation fault. However, you shouldn't serialize these objects directly. If you really need to serialize Event* objects, I recommend implementing Serializable interface in your own class (save instance data in the serialize method; create new instance using the saved data in the unserialize method).

I got your point. Thanks.
