Modern pure python CouchDB Client.

Currently there are several libraries in python to connect to couchdb. Why one more? It's very simple.

All seems not be maintained, all libraries used standard Python libraries for http requests.

• Use requests for http requests (much faster than the standard library)
• CouchDB 2.x and CouchDB 3.x compatible
