[PATCH 36/36] Java5 updates - update code to use generics

the above 2 patches seem to change interfaces of classes in "ridljar"
and "javaunohelper" that are likely part of the stable URE ABI, and
shouldn't be changed; i think adding type parameters is OK (after all
the Java standard libraries had these retrofitted as well, and they
don't exist at runtime anyway thanks to type erasure) but things like
replacing Hashtable with Map is not OK, so i've reverted those parts.

Things like changing from

  com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.createInitialComponentContext(
    Hashtable context_entries);

to

  com.sun.star.comp.helper.Bootstrap.createInitialComponentContext(
    Hashtable<String, Object> context_entries);

(javaunohelper/com/sun/star/comp/helper/Bootstrap.java) are technically incompatible: Old client code could legitimately have called

  createInitialComponentContext(new Hashtable<Object, Object>())

which now fails to compile. However, chances of such client code are pretty low, so I'd say the changes are OK.
