Introduced actors package object to deprecate a number of
classes. Made ForkJoinScheduler more configurable and let it read
ThreadPoolConfig. Clean-ups in TerminationMonitor and ActorGC. Removed
DefaultExecutorScheduler. Made DelegatingScheduler and ExecutorScheduler
private. Deprecated MessageQueue and MessageQueueElement, so that we can
later make them private. Deprecated a number of methods in IScheduler.
Tightened access modifiers in Reactor.
