Use OpenSAML V3 as base library

[kaunio]

Support for OpenSAML V2 will cease to exist on July 31, 2016 (see https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/OpenSAML/Home).

It would be nice if this library was adjusted to support the latest version so it can be used for a while in the feature and still rely on supported libraries.

I've started work with an SP implementation that is using this library so I will rewrite it tomorrow anyway. Just wanted to file a ticket to see if there are any interest from others with the OpenSAML V3 support.

V2 and V3 is quite different initialization wise (a lot of changes in how they work with factories and such) so it's not going to be easy to support a code base that can work with both versions at the same time.

Yes, I think we'll want to switch to the V3 library before V2 is EOL.

I've now done the bulk of the work in this branch https://github.com/kaunio/saml-sdk-java/tree/feature-opensamlv3 .

I've not created a pull request yet since I'm waiting for #9 to be merged to master.

I just want to rise some concerns that the upgrade might create some compatibility issues with other users. However it's most likely not an issue because I think that OpenSAML V2 and V3 can coexist. They seems to use separate packages.

Are there any ideas on updating this to v3 ?
