Update dependencies to use the JGit-internal @Nullable
Update the project-specific Eclipse settings to replace the use of the org.eclipse.jdt.annotation.Nullable class the new JGit-specific @Nullable annotation. I verified that Eclipse reports errors when the return value of a method annotated with @org.eclipse.jgit.annotations.Nullable is dereferenced without a null check. Also remove the Maven and MANIFEST.MF dependencies on org.eclipse.jdt.annotation. Eclipse null analysis uses three annotations: @Nullable, @NonNull and @NonNullByDefault. All three are updated in this patch because it is invalid to set the Eclipse preferences to empty values. So far only @Nullable has been introduced in org.eclipse.jgit.annotations. My personal preference is to follow the advice in Effective Java and avoid the null-return idiom, and to avoid passing null values in general. This sets the expectation is that arguments and return types are assumed non-null unless otherwise documented. If that is the expectation, then consistent application of @NonNull is redundant and hurts readability by cluttering the code, obscuring the occasional @Nullable annotation that really requires attention. If the JGit community decides there is value in using the @NonNull and @NonNullByDefault annotations we can add them--this change configures Eclipse to use them.
