Elemental 6.4.0

To ease migration for you, this version continues from where we stopped with eXist-db 6.3.0. It is 100% backwards compatible with eXist-db 6.3.0 and should be a simple drop-in replacement for any user. Like eXist-db 6.3.0 it requires Java 8, but it includes a lot of bug-fixes, and a few some small enhancements. It is a conservative release, a stepping stone if you like.
