Commit bec8adda5272ae1fc969bdbfa93eff3d5c65c233 in ofbiz-framework's branch
refs/heads/trunk from Nicolas Malin

Improved: Replace iText by librePDF (OFBIZ-13300)
With OFBIZ-10455 (Put back the com.lowagie:itext license from 4.2.0 to 2.1.7),
this library has been block in the past.
It's not a good solution for the future due to dependencies conflict.
So we replace the old library itext by librepdf
(https://github.com/LibrePDF/OpenPDF) that replace natively it.

> At r1812161 for OFBIZ-9674 we updated com.lowagie:itext license from 2.1.7 to
> 4.2.0. Scott mentionned at [https://s.apache.org/ixHW]:
> bq. I just noticed that the iText maven bundle is a bit tricksy and includes
> iText 5.6.6 as a dependency, with the latter being GPL licensed.
> Actually Scott meant itextpdf (was clear in his message), and It turned out
> that not only itextpdf was a problem but the 4.2.0 version in its entirety as
> discovered in the thread.
> The solution is to get back to the 2.1.7 version which is still MPL licensed.
> I must note here that for the same reason the BIRT runtime that we use in
> OFBiz, and all BIRT runtime versions, are using the 2.1.7 version. There is
> more information on why in the thread mentionned above if needed.
