artemis-odb 2.0.0 - getting rid of PackedComponents

[junkdog]

not as dramatic as it sounds; I'm retiring PackedComponent/PackedWeaver - it shouldn't affect anyone's code. so, if anyone depends on packed components, let me know. but overall, they're problematic, even if we solve the performance problems. It's wiser to focus on what works.

work is ongoing on the inaptly named branch, why-play-it-safe. (it started off as something else)

Will there still be some way to do singleton components (e.g. as a sort of tag)?

Best you can do is:

@PooledWeaver
public final class Culled extends Component {
}

It's ~20 bytes per entity, but it's memory which is never read.
