This changes the source of the detected public IP from a no-longer-maintained (and no longer available!) python library, ipgetter, to AWS's checkip service.

A new commandline option (--max-tries) has also been introduced, to allow users to override the default of 5.

The script now also will update the target record if the specified TTL (via --ttl) does not match the existing record's value (i.e. it considers "mismatched TTL" to be out-of-date, not just "mismatched record value").

This release also includes a number of other improvements and fixes.
