RAT: dependency N&L files

The apache-rat module which creates the distributions contains Notice
and License files for all the Commons dependencies.

I think these are now unnecessary, as they are the same as for RAT itself.

Commons Compress 1.5 no longer has any 3rd party notices in the NOTICE file

I don't think it uses Shade - the combined jar just has the
dependencies bundled in.
As it's intended for standalone use I don't think that's an issue.

And I think we can drop the xz jar dependency because it's not
currently used by RAT as far as I can tell.

So the N&L can be the same for source and binary releases.

Quite possibly...

:-)

If the binary distribution just contains one shaded artefact then the 
composite notice should be enough, I think
