BROOKLYN-32: remove LGPLed MaxMind GeoIP
Brooklyn `core` embeds a copy of MaxMind GeoIP Java library. This is
licensed under LGPL2.1, which is incompatible with the Apache license -
therefore it is not suitable to be part of Brooklyn core. This PR makes the
removal, and changes the default GeoIP lookup to use the "utrace" service
instead.
Note that it is possible to create a new project that includes just the
MaxMind GeoIP dependency and the Brooklyn HostGeoLookup class, and users could
install that module themselves, if they want to use MaxMind GeoIP. That is
outside the scope of this PR.
