JENA-901 Use Guava for cache, shadowed in jena-core
In comparison with #47, this shadows Guava directly in `jena-core` without
introducing `jena-shadowed-ext`.
This is thus acceptable as a patch-version update - but at the downside
that `jena-core` have to do
import com.google.common.cache.Cache
directly - while all other Jena modules would have to use
import org.apache.jena.impl.ext.com.google.common.cache.Cache
as it is shadowed with the JAR. This will cause problems in the other
modules in an Eclipse-like environment, as the IDE will re-expose com.google
version if `jena-core` is open - and they would then seemingly not be able to
find the `oaj.impl.ext.*` version as that only exist in the Maven-built JAR.
In this scenario, it would probably be cleaner for the other modules to
also shadow guava - in addition to the space-wastage, this probably becomes a
bit awkward - it also means you can't pass any Guava structures between Jena
modules.
One advantage however is that if they all shadow individually, then they
can shadow with the
[minimizeJar](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/shade-mojo.html#minimizeJar)
option to only get the few Guava classes used (e.g. in jena-core only the
Cache).

JENA-901 Use Guava for cache, shadowed in jena-core
this avoids adding a new module, so this is acceptable
as a patch-version update.
