[FLINK-5369] [build] Set jsr305 and logging dependencies to 'provided' by
default.
Currently, every project in Flink has a hard (compile scope) dependency on
the `jsr305`, `slf4j`, `log4j`, and `commons-land3` artifacts. That way they
are pulled into every fat jar, including user fat jars as soon as they refer to
a connector or library.
This commit sets these dependencies to 'provided' in the root pom file.
That means every project can refer to those classes, but should never re-bundle
them (instead assume they are present already).
To make the classes end up in the class path for local executions, they are
added only to the `flink-core` project as actual (compile scope) dependencies.
Connectors and libraries that refer to `flink-core` as provided actually treat
those dependencies in the same way.
### Looking Forward
Ideally, no Flink project should directly reference a concrete logging
framework (like log4j), but only `flink-dist` should add this to the `lib`
directory. That way the logging framework is perfectly pluggable for everyone
that references Flink projects (today it needs explicit exclusion of the log4j
dependency).
The quickstarts and tests should also pull in a default logging framework,
to enable local logging. This pull request prepares that, but still keeps
`log4j` in the classpath of `flink-core` (as before) to not break any existing
Flink projects (based on prior quickstarts) executing in the IDE.

[FLINK-5369] [build] Set jsr305 and logging dependencies to 'provided' by

Currently, every project in Flink has a hard (compile scope) dependency on
the jsr305, slf4j, and log4j

This commit sets jsr305 and slf4j to 'provided' in the root pom file. That
means every project can refer

present already). That is
achieved by adding them only to the 'flink-core' project as actualy
