Update Terminology
MySQL is changing the terminology it uses and it's good to start following this. This is only for the README and doesn't change `master` to `source` as I'm not sure that's the right working for all contexts. See also: https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/mysql-terminology-updates/

Failover supports MySQL >= 5.6.9 with GTID mode, if you use lower version, e.g, MySQL 5.0 - 5.5, please use [MHA](http://code.google.com/p/mysql-master-ha/) or [orchestrator](https://github.com/outbrain/orchestrator).

At the same time, Failover supports MariaDB >= 10.0.9 with GTID mode too.

Why only GTID? Supporting failover with no GTID mode is very hard, because slave can not find the proper binlog filename and position with the new master.
