instead of using the old baseName=smack appendix=project.name approach,
we are now going convention over configuration and renaming the
subprojects directories to the proper name.
Having a prefix is actually very helpful, because the resulting
libraries will be named like the subproject. And a core-4.0.0-rc1.jar is
not as explicit about what it actually *is* as a
smack-core-4.0.0-rc1.jar.

This allows us to exploid Java 8 streams and Java 5 for-each
loops. The returned Collections are usually unmodifiable. We decided
against returning Iterable because this would mean determining the
size in O(n) compared to Collection.size() which is often faster
(e.g. O(1)).
There is a unsolveable race condition between the connection state and
sendPacket(), i.e. the connection could go down, right after the
method calling sendPacket is called, but before sendPacket() is
invoked. Before this change, sendPacket() has thrown an unchecked
IllegalStateException, which could be ignored by the Smack user, who
would also not notice the race condition. We have decided to throw a
checked Exception in this case now, to make the Smack user aware of
this situation.

SmackException (and it's subclasses) is for all errors/exceptions not
defined by any XMPP specification. XMPPException is now an abstract
class for all errors defined by the XMPP specifications.
Methods that involve an IQ exchange now either return the result, which
is obtained by IQ response, or they throw an XMPPErrorException if an IQ
error was the result of the IQ set/get. If there was no response from
the server within the default packet timeout, a NoResponseException will
be thrown.
XMPP SASL errors are now also reported accordingly.
