Split package
Note to repacking and deep system integrations:
Package "org.apache.jena.system" was split across jars.
There are now two packages:
"org.apache.jena.sys"
"org.apache.jena.system"
and "sys" contains the system service loader code.
JenaSystem.init() has migrated, with deprecated proxy, from
"org.apache.jena.system" to "org.apache.jena.sys"
** NB ServiceLoader file change **
The ServiceLoader interface for system initialization is now:
org.apache.jena.sys.JenaSubsystemLifecycle
--- Other Changes
JENA-1544: Consistent FROM/FROM NAMED naming handling
JENA-1519: OpExt / Jeremy Coulon
JENA-1488: SelectiveFoldingFilter for jena-text
