Before this change, apis that follow patterns across a service could
only be modeled by copy/paste/find/replace. Especially with a large
count, this is monotonous and error prone.
This change introduces support for base apis via single-inheritance
interfaces. Users ensure their target interface bind any type variables
and as a result have little effort to create boilerplate apis.
Ex.
```java
@Headers("Accept: application/json")
interface BaseApi<V> {
@RequestLine("GET /api/{key}")
V get(@Param("key") String);
@RequestLine("GET /api")
List<V> list();
@Headers("Content-Type: application/json")
@RequestLine("PUT /api/{key}")
void put(@Param("key") String, V value);
}
interface FooApi extends BaseApi<Foo> { }
interface BarApi extends BaseApi<Bar> { }
```

Files had various formatting differences, as did pull requests. Rather than
create our own style, this inherits and requires the well documented Google
Java Style.
Feign has `MethodMetadata.bodyType()`, but never passed it to encoders.
Encoders that register type adapters need to do so based on the
interface desired as opposed to the implementation class. This change
breaks api compatibility for < 8.x, by requiring an additional arg
on `Encoder.encode`.

Dagger 1.x and 2.x are incompatible. Rather than choose one over the
other, this change removes Dagger completely. Users can now choose any
injector, constructing Feign via its Builder.
This change also drops support for javax.inject.Named, which has
been replaced by feign.Param.

AssertJ has more powerful test assertions and does not run the risk of
interfering with the classpath of main code, such as guava does. This
removes guava from test and example code and adjusts using AssertJ in
some cases.
JUnit Rules, such as MockWebServerRule, reduce boilerplate setup present
in our tests. By migrating off TestNG, and onto rules, our tests become
more maintainable as JUnit is well understood.
