Update NTS to JTS 1.10

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Subsequently add features of JTS 1.10.

When that is done go on to 1.11

Here is the to do list:
Functionality Improvements
- Added Geometry.reverse() method for all geometry types
- Added setSrsName, setNamespace, setCustomRootElements methods to
  GMLWriter
- Added Envelope.getArea method
- Added copy, copyCoord methods to CoordinateSequences
- Added area method to Envelope
- Added extractPoint(pt, offset) methods to LengthIndexedLine and 
  LocationIndexedLine
- Added CoordinatePrecisionReducerFilter
- Added UnaryUnionOp(Collection, GeometryFactory) constructor to handle
  empty inputs more automatically
- Added DiscreteHausdorffDistance class
- Made LineMerger able to be called incrementally
- Added GeometricShapeFactory.createArcPolygon to create a polygonal arc
- Enhanced Geometry.buffer() to preserve SRID 

Performance Improvements
- Improved performance for EdgeList (by using a more efficient technique
  for detecting duplicate edges)
- Improved performance for ByteArrayInStream (by avoiding use of  
  java.io.ByteArrayInputStream)
- Unrolled intersection computation in HCoordinate to avoid object 
  allocation
- Improved performance for buffering via better offset curve generation 
  and simplification.
- Improved performance for IsValipOp by switching to use STRtree for 
  nested hole checking 

Bug Fixes
- Fixed Geometry.getClassSortIndex() to lazily initialize the sorted class 
  list. This fixes a threading bug.
- Fixed RectangleContains to return correct result for points on the  
  boundary of the rectangle
- Fixed error in com.vividsolutions.jts.simplify.LineSegmentIndex which
  caused polygons simplified using TopologyPreservingSimplifier to be 
  invalid in certain situations
- Fixed error in DouglasPeuckerSimplifier which caused empty polygons to 
  be returned when they contained a very small hole
- Fixed PackedCoordinateSequence to return NaN for null ordinate values
- Fixed Geometry.centroid() (CentroidArea) so that it handles degenerate 
  (zero-area) polygons
- Fixed Geometry.buffer() (OffsetCurveBuilder) so that it handles 
  JOIN_MITRE cases with nearly collinear lines correctly
- Fixed GeometryFactory.toGeometry(Envelope) to return a CW polygon
- Fixed UnaryUnionOp to correctly handle heterogeneous inputs with P/L/A 
  components
- Fixed UnaryUnionOp to accept LINEARRINGs
- Fixed CentroidArea to handle zero-area polygons correctly
- Fixed WKBWriter to always output 3D when requested, and to handle 2D
  PackedCoordinateSequences correctly in this case
- Fixed NodedSegmentString to handle zero-length line segments correctly
  (via safeOctant)
- Cleaned up code to remove unneeded CGAlgorithms objects
- Fixed GeometricShapeFactory.createArc to ensure arc has requested number 
  of vertices 

API Changes
- Moved GML I/O classes into core JTS codebase
- Changed GMLWriter to not write the srsName attribute by default
- In DistanceOp switched to using nearestPoints method names
- Exposed STRtree.getRoot() method

Here you go.
What I didn't do is

- Fixed WKBWriter to always output 3D when requested, and to handle 2D
  PackedCoordinateSequences correctly in this case

  WKBWriter is only partly common with that of JTS. It is Diego's own

- Changed GMLWriter to not write the srsName attribute by default

  GMLHandling in NTS is derived from GeoTools. Maybe we should change that?

Of course if possible, should better to make also WKB and GML reader/writers 
"JTS compliant". From my point of view this isn't a core issue howewer, maybe 
we should open a new issue ticket, to fix when the "core code" of NTS was 
updated to latest JTS?
