Updating v3 parent POM to HttpClient 4.3

[Brent Putman]

Hearing no objections, and having also ran a full test suite on
everything and finding no issues, I'm going to go ahead and update the
parent POM to 4.3.

This version has introduced some changes to the ways that some aspects
of the library are intended to be used.  Many old ways of doing things
are now deprecated (but still work), including a lot of what is
currently done in the java-support httpclient package, as well as things
that I (mostly already) wanted to change/fix in the metadata code I've
been working on.  I'll open a Jira issue to track updating java-support
components, which may or may not happen before the java-support 2.0.0
release we're discussing.
