Cyclic dependency on TinkerPop prevents creating release #7

TinkerPop 3.3.0 is entering code freeze and a soon release.

TinkerPop 3.3.0 (neo4j-gremlin) depends on neo4j-tinkerpop-api-impl (0.7-3.2.2-SNAPSHOT). neo4j-tinkerpop-api-impl (0.7-3.2.2-SNAPSHOT) depends on tinkerpop (3.3.0-SNAPSHOT).

This cyclic dependency makes it complicated to create releases in either project.

It appears that the introduction of a gremlin stored procedure creates the dependency on tinkerpop. Proposed solution is to pull out the gremlin stored proc into its own module to free neo4j-tinkerpop-api-impl from any tinkerpop deps.

If this issue is not resolved, it will be a missed opportunity to upgrade neo4j in tinkerpop until the next major or minor code release.

Impl has been isolated and split into separate module.
