CoreNLP Update to Jollyday 0.5.x and Java 8 java.time instead of JodaTime

Since Java 8 has a time API comparable to JodaTime, projects such as jollyday are switching to this newer API, and so should CoreNLP.

These APIs are quite similar, but the transition is not a simple search and replace.

See e.g. this post for how classes align:

In principle, yes, this would be great to do, and we do hope to do it sometime. However, the student who implemented SUTime has graduated, and this isn't currently a critical thing for us to fix, and so it could easily be that 2 years later it still won't have happened.... So, if anyone else were willing to take this on, we'd be much obliged. 🙏

@manning I would like to contribute if I may.

@manning I have updated to Jollyday 0.5.5 and extracted several sub-classes from the SUTime code monster. I think this is in the best interest of code maintainability. I'm now trying to replace Joda with Java8 time. May take some time though.

Just wondering, any progress since then on the Joda->Java8 project? As Erich knows, I'm looking to clear out some old changelists & issues
