Description

I suggest we remove FGCP.

Besides maintenance like making utility classes uninstantiatable, it hasn't been touched in 17 months. Labs isn't a permanent place and all providers need maintenance and live tests run on a regular basis.

Not only is this provider relatively weighty compared to others, it introduced the optional SSLContext injection which confused people looking at JCLOUDS-753.

I suggest we reach out to dkoper and see if there is any reason we might expect support around FGCP to change, and if not, delete it.
