Import Path Change Notice

The README section "Import Path Change Notice" states: However, the intention is to migrate the import paths to be consistent with how it's shown on GitHub. This will be a breaking change and we will introduce a major tag when we update the code. Therefore, the import path will go from github.com/NYTimes/gizmo/server to github.com/nytimes/gizmo/v2/server . This ensures that people will not have type-mismatches between import path changes.
