[VOTE][io] Release Commons IO 2.1-RC5

[Gary Gregory <gg...@apache.org>]

Good day to you all:

I have prepared Commons IO 2.1-RC5.

The differences with RC4 are:

- TailerTest: Make the test sleep longer while the Tailer works.
- Use includeantruntime="false" in build.xml
- Update build.xml to JUnit 4.10 from 3.8.1
- Update POM to JUnit 4.10 from 4.9
- Remove superfluous public keyword from method in interface declarations.
