Remove flying-saucer-pdf-itext5, flying-saucer-swt and old packages and libraries. Issue #297.

Itext 5 is EOL, and OpenPDF can be used instead.

flying-saucer-swt is from a different time era, and can be moved to a separate subproject under github.com/flyingsaucerproject if still needed.

By removing flying-saucer-pdf-itext5 and flying-saucer-swt there will be a smaller, more maintainable code-base, which will ease the modernization of this library, eg. support modern HTML 5 etc. Also remove the jar files in lib/dev, these jar files should be included by Maven if they are needed. Next steps can be adding a HTML 5 capable parser such as htmlunit-neko in #282.
