WIP-Pirk 63-DO NOT MERGE This is a WIP for [PIRK-63](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIRK-63) to open the door to other responders without having to modify the actual code of Pirk. It's submitted for feedback only, please DO NOT MERGE. I've only tested standalone mode. It deprecates the "platform" CLI option in favor of the "launcher" option which is the name of a class implementing the `ResponderLauncher` interface which will invoke the run method via reflection. This allows a developer of a different responder to merely place a jar on the classpath and specify the appropriate `ResponderLauncher` on the classpath. The "platform" CLI option is still made available. However, I removed the explicit dependencies in favor of using reflection. This was done in anticipation other refactoring the build into submodules, though this does admittedly make the code more fragile. ResponderDriver had no unit tests, and unfortunately I saw no good way to create good ones for this particular change, especially as it required multiple frameworks to run. I should say that another possible route here is to have each framework responder implement their own ResponderDriver. We could provide some utilities to check the minimum Pirk required options are set, but leave the rest to the implementation of the responder. It would clean up the ResponderCLI and ResponderProps which are rather bloated and might continue to grow if left unchecked.
