[Building Sakai] Upgrade of Velocity in sakai-velocity-tool in trunk (SAK-18214)

[Matthew Buckett]

I looking at upgrading sakai-velocity-tool in trunk to a newer version
of velocity. Benefits of the upgrade include:

- better performance.
- ability to easily call getFormattedMessage(String, Object[]) from
the template without having to prebuild the array in Java.

To start with I was going to remove all the fixed dependencies from
the existing tools that use sakai-velocity-tools so that they are
pulled in transitively.

What this means in practice is that in a tool such as authz-tool I'll
remove the explicit dependencies on:

velocity:velocity:1.3
logkit:logkit:1.2
oro:oro:2.0.8

from the pom.xml and the required dependencies will be pulled in
transitively from sakai-velocity-tools. It turns out that logkit is
now optional so with an upgrade if velocity this will no longer be
pulled in.

Then the version of velocity included with sakai-velocity-tools can be
updated and all sakai tools using this new artifact will get a newer
version of velocity.

This is under: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-18214
