Remove AsyncApi

[codefromthecrypt]

per thread in https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/jclouds-dev/iQXXZFeVq2Y we should remove the AsyncApi from jclouds providers in v1.7.

It ideally should be possible for apis new to v1.6 to be developed without Async as well.

Here are the tasks for 1.6:

• add ability to automatically implement Closeable on top-level Api (or Client) interfaces.
• implement Closeable on all existing top-level Api (or Client) interfaces.
• deprecate all existing top-level AsyncApi (or AsyncClient) interfaces.
• add ContextBuilder.buildApi(TopLevelApi.class)
• remove AsyncApi from at least one module new to 1.6 to prove the concept works.
• migrate internal code from some module that uses an AsyncApi (or AsyncClient) to another approach
• create an example that shows how to do this in jclouds/jclouds-examples
• document links to some advice on using jclouds in concurrent environments.

Here are the tasks for 1.7:

• remove all existing top-level AsyncApi (or AsyncClient) interfaces.
• remove RestContext and all things that refer to generic type params <S, A>
• clean up code that formerly had to deal with AsyncApis

folks please review https://github.com/jclouds/jclouds/pull/1511 when you can. Shortly after this is done, we can start on a rc.4 to see how it works out.

With #1511 closed I'm guessing this task is complete?

[codefromthecrypt]

yep.

still could use a hand on the other tasks for 1.6

still could use a hand on the other tasks for 1.6

For the example, I was thinking of blobstore-largeblob. Seem like a good candidate?
