Changes

• By default, Controller Input is now disabled because it requires native libraries.
• Controller support for x86 was dropped due to the jinput update
• #134 The TmxMapLoader is now a static class
• Changed the implementation for fullscreen from setExtendedState to GraphicsDevice.setFullscreenWindow
• Made Game.terminate() private -> The application should be closed from code using System.exit(0)
• #144 Remove the loading of system fonts by the FontLoader
  • The FontLoader is intended to load custom fonts from the game resources. If one wants to use a system font, he can just initialize the Font directly and doesn't have to register the font on the environment.
• Reorganized namespaces:
  • Introduced new base namespace for all emitter related stuff de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.graphics.emitters
  • Moved some entity implementations from different namespaces to de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.entities.
• The FontLoader class has been removed. Fonts are now loaded with the static Resources class
• The game now crashes if an unexpected exception occurs
• Detect an unsupported Tiled version and fail-fast (currently supported: 1.1.5)
• Replace the IKeyObserver interface by the AWT KeyListener.
• Remove a ton of unnecessary interfaces
