Fix AnyObjectId's generic type declaration of Comparable
If you look at any implementation of Comparable in the JDK, you'll see
that the type parameter for Comparable is supposed to be the type of
the implementing class:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/Comparable.html
The current type signature of Comparable<Object> is pretty awful, at the
very least because you can not, in fact, successfully compare
AnyObjectId with any random subclass of Object. It also causes problems
with type-inference and the scala.math.Ordering trait in Scala.
In order to compile, this change *does* require removing the
AnyObjectId.ompareTo(Object) method - which actually only ever cast
to AnyObjectId in any case. Nothing in the JGit test suite requires this
method, but it might constitute a breaking API change, so it would be
best if it can be added in time for JGit 3.0.
