Move util classes out of com.google.api.client.googleapis, to reduce the size of the latter, which is a common dependency of many other projects.

Java environments (e.g. Java 6, Android 2.3, App Engine, or All)?

All.

Please describe the feature requested.

The package com.google.api.client.googleapis is a common dependency of many 
other libraries and projects. Having the utility classes, which depend on other 
libraries such as jackson2, makes the size of com.google.api.client.googleapis 
unnecessarily large. This is particularly bad for Android applications as the 
Dalvik VM has a limit on the number of method references. We should move the 
utility classes to a sub-package such as com.google.api.client.googleapis.util.
