[FLINK-33190] [Umbrella]Externalized Connectors should directly depend on 3rd-party libs instead of shaded repo

Description

Connectors shouldn't depend on flink-shaded.
The overhead and/or risks of doing/supporting that right now far
outweigh the benefits.
( Because we either have to encode the full version for all dependencies
into the package, or accept the risk of minor/patch dependency clashes)
Connectors are small enough in scope that depending directly on
guava/jackson/etc. is a fine approach, and they have plenty of other
dependencies that they need to manage anyway; let's treat these the same
way.
