If we do not peek at the scheduled actions in the reactors
synchronized block, then there is a kind of lost-update problem. While
Ractor.schedule() will call wakeup() on the selector, a thread could
have already determined the value of selectWait, while being blocked
at the start of the synchronized reactor section. Once it is able to
enter the section, it will use an outdated selectWait value.
This leads to scheduled actions not being executed on time.
Thanks to Eng ChongMeng for reporting this and suggesting the fix.
Without this, newly scheduled runnables would potentially not be
scheduled in case the reactor thread was blocking in select(0)
indefinetly.

This commit adds
- SmackReactor / NIO
- a framework for finite state machine connections
- support for Java 8
- pretty printed XML debug output
It also
- reworks the integration test framework
- raises the minimum Android API level to 19
- introduces XmppNioTcpConnection
Furthermore fixes SMACK-801 (at least partly). Java 8 language
features are available, but not all runtime library methods. For that
we would need to raise the Android API level to 24 or higher.
