Switching back to the classic vibe-d:core

The old core implementation, although vibe-core is the new default starting with this release, will still be supported until at least the end of this year. If you encounter any issues with vibe-core, you can switch back to the old implementation by using a sub configuration directive in the package recipe:

SDL syntax:

dependency "vibe-d:core" version="~>0.8.3"
subConfiguration "vibe-d:core" "libevent"

JSON syntax:

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        ...
        "vibe-d:core": "~>0.8.3"
    },
    "subConfigurations": {
        "vibe-d:core": "libevent"
    }
}

The alternative configurations "win32"/"win32_mscoff" and "libasync" are also still available.
