Deprecate the any-newer task #17

The difference between newer and any-newer is confusing people. It should be possible to infer which behavior to use.

if there is no dest config, run task with src files that are newer than last run
if there is a 1:1 mapping between src and dest files, run task with only those pairs where src is newer than dest
if there is a many:1 mapping between src and dest files, run task with all src files if any one of them is newer than the dest file

This can be accomplished with a single newer task. The any-newer task can be set as an alias for a while.
