Akka 1.4.15

Maintenance Release for Akka.NET 1.4** Akka.NET v1.4.15 introduces a new module, Akka.DependencyInjection, which will replace Akka.DI.Core and all of the libraries which depend on it. This seemed like the easiest way to preserve backwards compatibility - simple deprecate the old package and replace it with a new one. So what does Akka.DependencyInjection do differently than Akka.DI.Core?

1. Allows users to pass in an IServiceProvider into the ActorSystem before the latter is created, via a new kind of programmatic configuration Setup that was introduced in Akka.NET v1.4. This ensures that the IServiceProvider is immutable within an ActorSystem, a problem that we have currently with Akka.DI.Core.
2. Makes it easy to access the IServiceProvider via the Akka.DependencyInjection.ServiceProvider.For(ActorSystem) method, which is what we can use to get access to the service provider in order to consume required services inside our actors.
3. Makes it possible to dependency inject some parameters will dynamically specifying some others, something that users have been asking for since 2015.
