Description

The idea is to move ServerName to hbase-common, so that other modules like hbase-consensus which (would) depend on ServerName, but can't depend on hbase-client, since hbase-client would depend on them. Moreover, it looks logical that ServerName not be a part of the client module. It is a shared class between multiple modules, so it should be in hbase-common.
