[CURATOR-503] Update dependencies in January 2019
The main motivation for this update is updating Guava from 20.0 to
27.0.1-jre. Between these versions, the implementation of
`Maps.newConcurrentMap()` (this method is used in many some places in Curator
code) was changed and now it returns `ConcurrentHashMap` instead of Guava's own
implementation, that was less efficient.
This PR also updates Jackson version, as well as #280, from 2.7 to 2.9.
Answering questions raised in the comments to that PR: I believe upgrading
Jackson from 2.7 to 2.9 is safe. The compatibility standards in Jackson are
much higher than in an average Java project. Most incompatibilities in
[2.8](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.8#changes-compatibility)
and
[2.9](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson/wiki/Jackson-Release-2.9#changes-compatibility)
are minor tweaks in Jackson's programmatic API (shouldn't be a concern as long
as Curator is built and passes tests with the updated dependencies). Also
support for some old Java and Android versions is dropped, shouldn't be a
concern in Curator either. Finally, seems that there are the only two changes
that affect serialization format: [of
`java.nio.Path`](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/1235) and
[of `java.sql.Date`](https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/219).
It also doe
sn't seem to be relevant to Curator.
Testing: `mvn test` in a private CI server passed.
