Remove dependency on javassist by using standard JDK annotation functionality
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBEHAVE-327
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-327
             Project: JBehave
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: Brian Repko
         Attachments: AnnotationFinder.java

Use of javassist is typically done for access to non-RUNTIME Retention 
annotations or for annotation parsing over a large set of classes when you 
don't want to load the class.  We don't have those use cases and thus can 
eliminate the javassist dependency in AnnotationFinder.

New version of AnnotationFinder is attached that seems to work - I wasn't sure 
if getAnnotation should look at interfaces and/or superclasses (not needed if 
we appropriate add the @Inherited to our annotations).

jbehave-core/pom.xml also changed to remove the dependency.
