Replace PolicyAssert with assertj

PolicyAssert has a sonar issue and is no longer needed, as the
same functionality (and more) is provided by assertj.  Modified
drools-pdp test code to replace PolicyAssert with assertj.
Updated license dates.
Removed trailing spaces.
Remove assertj version from poms, as it's now included in parent pom.
