Added maven packaging and deployment supports.

The original amazon-kinesis-connectors github project doesn't provide an easy means to build the source code. Further, for people who simply wants to use the library, there isn't any convenient way to pull the library into their project. This pull request provides a maven pom.xml file that one can use to build the "main" parts of the library; it also provides scm configurations for the amazon team to deploy the library to maven repository if they decide to do so.

• It generates all three jars: jar, source-jar, and javadoc-jar.
• It handles javadoc errors under JDK 8 by temporarily disabling some -Xlint options.
• Jar signing configuration is not included.
• Samples are not included in the build (yet).

I thought there was build files already in the samples. https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-kinesis-connectors/blob/master/src/main/samples/s3/build.xml

I think people want the library to be in Maven Repo. Could Amazon engineering make this happen please!
