omni-bus update

primarily addresses STREAMS-218 (Generic Activity Serializer Processor)

addresses STREAMS-68 (ActivitySerializer should be ActivityConverter) - was touching related classes anyway
some additional refactoring of class and method names is advisable but this is a big chunk

resolves STREAMS-219 (.gitignore files generated by maven plugins)
needed to knock this out to avoid committing these files along with other changes
fixed pig runtime test
assessed additional provider modules
either refactored for compatibility with streams-converters
and/or added comments/todos regarding deprecation etc...
STREAMS-216 | All JMX monitoring beans now include identifying information and the time that the stream was started
improved error handling
serialize twitter type support classes
improved configuration scheme
