Use io.cucumber.<package-name> for the api

[mpkorstanje]

With Java 9 split packages are no longer allowed. However by design cucumber uses split packages to make the api recognizable by the end user.

So with #1445 in mind I am considering moving the api package to a new structure.

This would move

• cucumber.api.cli -> io.cucumber.core.api.cli
• cucumber.api.event -> io.cucumber.core.api.event and replace concrete classes with interfaces.
• cucumber.api.formatter -> io.cucumber.core.api.plugin
• cucumber.api.* -> Unsure yet. Mostly io.cucumber.core.api.event.
• Except
  • cucumber.api.Pending -> io.cucumber.core.runner should be internal
  • cucumber.api.PendingException -> io.cucumber.java.api other languages can implement their own mechanism that uses @Pending.
  • cucumber.api.SummaryPrinter -> io.cucumber.core.api.plugin
  • cucumber.api.StepDefinitionReporter -> io.cucumber.core.api.plugin
  • cucumber.api.Transpose -> io.cucumber.java.api
• cucumber.api.java -> io.cucumber.java.api
• cucumber.api.java8 -> io.cucumber.java.api With Java8, there no point to keep them in separate modules

Right now I believe this would would resolve most cycles and hide most of cucumbers implementation details.

Already working on it Aslak. :D

And not a good first issue.
