[core] Fixing squid:S1319 -  Declarations should use Java collection interfaces such as "List" rather than specific implementation classes such as "LinkedList".
(manolama - updated bindings added since the PR)

- define checkstyle configs in as few places as possible
- use checkstyle:check since it has defaults that match what we want (fail after logging to console)
- modules that have current failures set property checkstyle.failOnViolation to false.

[core dynamodb googledatastore infinispan] Fixing pmd:UnnecessaryConstructor - Unnecessary constructor, squid:EmptyStatementUsageCheck - Empty statements should be removed

Replaces numeric status codes with a canonical set of Status objects,
each with a short name and description.
Bindings with more specific errors (e.g., timeouts) return additional
statuses.

This changes the default output from messages like:

   [UPDATE], Return=0, 511

To:

   [UPDATE], Return=OK, 511

As a part of branching to stage 0.2.0 release in #266, set version
for continued development on master branch.

* use double-check idiom for remote cache manager.
* update version to 7.2.2.Final

* remove unused declared deps in a few places
* lex sort modules in top level pom
* update maven plugin versions.
* no more jar-with-dependencies
* set ycsb-core to provided in bindings
* introduce a bindings-parent pom that sets
** stage dependency copy on building binding
** iff binding has a README.md, build a binding-specific dist artifact
* update distribution assembly to
** properly build after modules
** use per-binding sets of dependencies

closes #250

* Need a SNAPSHOT version because non-SNAPSHOT is reserved for actual releases.
* Increment minor version per pre-1.0 guidelines from the Version Numbers guide

Fixes #236.
