Addressed by UIMA-6006 - the isMultiValuedFeature signature has been restored.
However, the changes to the return values in CasUtil, JCasUtil, and 
FSCollectionFactory remain. I am using the major version jump to get rid of
some sins of the past.

These had the wrong "component". Added the "uimaFIT" component to both.

Addressed by UIMA-6009 - the Maven dependency plugin is now used to ensure
that there are not too few and not too many dependencies.

It is not meant for user consumption and not deployed to Maven Central.

So this should (hopefully) tackle it. While at it, I have made a few additional
improvements. Now I'll go on to prepare the next RC.
