Preparing the project to be published in Maven Central - enabling Publish settings, improving project description, completing contributor lists, making packaging more consistent etc. Warning: the project artifact name and the package names have changed! The artifact/project name "cassandra-driver-spark" becomes "spark-cassandra-connector". "com.datastax.driver.spark" becomes "com.datastax.spark.connector". The connector subpackage holding the CassandraConnector class becomes cql package.  No class name changes have been made. The changes have been required to avoid confusion with the Cassandra Java driver, which is a separate project, run by a separate team and having a separate release schedule. This project is not intended to be a Java driver module.
