Major features of 2.10

Much of additional functionality mirrors changes that 3.0 developments are making, in form that will get some of the benefits, and should ease migration to 3.0.

Builder-based construction of streaming factories and ObjectMapper

Although full moved to immutable factories, mappers, by (only) using builder-style construction will only be included in 3.0, 2.10 does introduce builder-pattern itself (but does not force strict immutability beyond what 2.x API supports). Following issues outline changes

• databind/#1954: Add Builder pattern for creating configured ObjectMapper instances
  • also add JsonMapper as explicit type, through which builders are created and that exposes json-specific configuration
• core#433: Add Builder pattern for creating configured Stream factories
