Breaking changes

• hide public CHART.JS hooks of Charba out-of-the-box plugins (ChartBackgroundColor, ChartPointer, ColorSchemes, HtmlLegend and DatasetsItemsSelector).
• rename DisplayCallback to SimpleDisplayCallback class name (package org.pepstock.charba.client.callbacks) where the display can be set simply with a boolean.
• remove DisplayCallback class from org.pepstock.charba.client.datalabels.callbacks in order to use the common DisplayCallback (package org.pepstock.charba.client.callbacks) where the display can be set by a boolean or a Display enumeration value.
• change graceAsPercentage option in the CartesianLinearAxis class in order to be a double (value between 0 and 1) instead of a string when set as percentage.
