Changes since Guice 4.2

• Java 9 and JPMS support
• Multibindings are now in the Guice core artifact. The multibindings artifact is empty to prevent confusion during upgrading and will be removed in a later release.
• Improve the performance of guice provisioning (by about 20%) by changing the way errors are reported. Guice will no longer report multiple errors during provisioning (Guice still reports multiple errors during injector creation).
• Better error messages for a missing binding.
• Various optimizations.
• AbstractModule.configure() is non-abstract to allow modules with only @Provides/@ProvidesIntoSet/... methods.
• Add a CheckedProviders class.
• Change the way Singletons work to not rely on ThreadLocals nor WeakReferences.
• Add MapBinderBinding.getEntries(Iterable).
• Deprecate ProvisionListener.ProvisionInvocation.getDependencyChain(). It is scheduled for deletion in 4.3.
• Ensure that Struts interceptors are populated even if they are created after the injector (Fixes devlive-community/knowforge#1081, devlive-community/knowforge#1075).
• Add support for multibindings with annotations in the Guice DaggerMethodScanner.
