Transitive Joda Time version clash through json-schema's dependencies

[chriskilding]

Hi, I have a downstream project which is suffering a transitive Joda Time version clash from three of its dependencies, which in turn depend on Joda. json-schema is one of them.

The quick way to deal with this would be for me to add a Joda dependency to my own POM. But Joda was functionally deprecated nearly a decade ago by JDK8's release, so it would be preferable to remove Joda from upstream dependencies rather than spread it into new projects.

In json-schema's case, the dependency which drags Joda in is com.damnhandy:handy-uri-templates. This is used in just one class, URITemplateFormatValidator.

I've asked the author of handy-uri-templates to remove Joda, but he hasn't responded so far. The next best thing would be for json-schema to use a different URI template library. Would you be able to do this? I'm willing to work on the PR for it if necessary.
