[hibernate-dev] packages

[Steve Ebersole]

Following a discussion about this on the dev IRC I did a little bit of 
this work today.

See:
1) 
http://transcripts.jboss.org/channel/irc.freenode.org/%23hibernate-dev/2012/%23hibernate-dev.2012-08-28.log.html
2) https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7556

The first step was moving all BootstrapServiceRegistry related code to 
a new package org.hibernate.boot.registry

I moved the rest of service defined under org.hibernate.service (that 
package is meant for the infrastructure around services and registries, 
not for services themselves).   Quite a lot of them got moved to 
org.hibernate.engine.  For now.  There was a discussion on IRC about 
getting rid of that package level altogether as it really seems to 
serve no purpose.

Also, there was some initial discussion about moving the API aspects of 
building a org.hibernate.metamodel.Metadata instance to that 
org.hibernate.boot package as well (since building the Metadata and 
registry references are the bulk of the boot API).
