QPID-4335, QPID-4353: Refactored broker plugins to use simplified ServiceLoader-based model rather than embedding Felix to use OSGi.

Removed the ability to reload security configuration because this feature is not very useful in
its current form and was making our code hard to refactor.

Modified all tests to use jars rather than classes. This makes them closer to real-world deployments, e.g. the META-INF/services
file is read from within the jar.
Also moved various system tests from their respective modules into "systests". This removes the need for most modules to depend
on systests, thus simplifying our dependency graph.

Applied patch from myself, Keith Wall and Phil Harvey <phil@philharveyonline.com>
