Robert Xiao dfdc8e7e8e Switch to Maven to build the Java bits.

Maven is now used to update the constants, build the Java code, call make to
build the native library, and run all the tests. I have removed the "install"
and "uninstall" targets; instead, the expectation will be that the JNI library
will be placed somewhere on java.library.path and the JAR file will be used as
usual (e.g. in a downstream Maven project, or placed on the classpath of your
project).

Since Maven is now running our tests, this eliminates the need to bundle test
dependencies in `testdep`, and makes the project structured more like a typical
Java project.

This documentation explains how to install the Java binding for Unicorn from source.

Follow docs/COMPILE.md in the root directory to compile the core to the build directory.

Note: by default, the Java binding native library will be built by statically linking to ../../build/libunicorn.a, thereby removing libunicorn as a runtime dependency, but making the produced native library libunicorn_java bigger.

If you instead want to dynamically link against the installed libunicorn, change LIBS=../../build/libunicorn.a to LIBS=-lunicorn in Makefile.
Install a JDK for your platform.
Install Maven: https://maven.apache.org/install.html.
Change directories into the java bindings and build the Maven package:
```
 $ mvn package
```

This will automatically build and test the Unicorn Java bindings.

The bindings consist of the native JNI library (libunicorn_java.{so,dylib,dll}) and the Java JAR (target/unicorn-2.xx.jar). You will need to have the native library on java.library.path and the JAR on your classpath.

The src/main/test/java directory contains some sample code to show how to use Unicorn API. samples is a set of sample classes showcasing the various features of the Unicorn API, while tests is a set of JUnit tests for the API.

Sample_<arch>.java: These show how to access architecture-specific information for each architecture.
Shellcode.java: This shows how to analyze a Linux shellcode.
SampleNetworkAuditing.java: Unicorn sample for auditing network connection and file handling in shellcode.
