Changes for version 2.0:

The most significant change for version 2.0 is switching the
scripture environment to always use a LaTeX list environment.
This improves reliability within other lists, as well as
vertical and horizontal spacing. There may be some
minor difference in behaviour due to this change.

There's also a new style option which can be used to apply a
previously defined set of options to a scripture quotation.

Summary:

- Add \scripturestyle function
- Add inline/reference/format option
- Add inline/reference/sep option
- Add inline/version/delim option
- Add inline/version/format option
- Add style option
- Bug fixes
- Switch scripture to a LaTeX list based environment
