[hibernate-dev] Remove or disable the WildFly feature packs of Hibernate ORM?

[Sanne Grinovero]

We have a PR for this now, if someone would like to have a look:
 - https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/3347

One thing to note, is that it also removes all Arquillian based tests:
we had some which were testing more than just the basics of our
feature pack; although most had been disabled already for other
reasons.  Sadly even the few useful ones will need to be removed as
well.

After this, we no longer have Arquillian among the test dependencies
either... back to basics.

Thanks,
Sanne
