[mime4j] Unused sream classes

[Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>]

Folks

There is a few classes that appear unused anywhere in the main code
line:

* LineBreakingOutputStream
* CloseShieldInputStream
* PositionInputStream
* PartialInputStream

Besides, I personally would rather expect such classes to be provided by
a generic IO library such as Commons IO. All of them seem to be out of
scope for mime4j IMHO.

Would anyone really miss them? Would it be okay to remove them from
mime4j? Less code, less room for bugs.
