Add PDP Group Deploy and Delete REST API stubs

Note: this will not build until the models-pap code has been added.

Added PDP group Delete methods, with and without version.

Added checks for OK status codes.

Added topic configuration.
Still does not have the "simplified" PDP Group deploy/undeploy.
Still won't build without "Move PDP Group classes to concepts subdirectory".

Will add junit tests for code changes in another review.
Updated comments about unlocking after updates.
Made ServiceManager final.
Included topic start/stop actions.
Fixed parameter comment.
Removed unneeded parameters from json files.
Fixed argument test in shell script.
Updated licenses.
