Stop using Guava's immutable collection types in public getters?

[davidxia]

This library can cause issues for projects that use its shaded jar and a different version of guava. Should we make a breaking change and stop using Guava's immutable collection types in public getters?

See https://github.com/spotify/helios/issues/1142

I know that when the abstract getters return Immutable* collection types, AutoValue will generate implementations that also use the Immutable* types. Do you know what collection types AutoValue will generate if your abstract getters do not return the Immutable* types?

I don't know if this matters.
