[Nut-upsdev] upsclient high level API and Java wrapping

as Emilien started to present above, we (Eaton) want to help filling some of
the NUT remaining lacks while improving the API / language bindings
situation.

We also want to take this opportunity to work more collaboratively with the
NUT Community, from the upstream discussion up to the implementation.

@David and Gabor: as owners of language binding, we would be more than happy
to see you participating in this effort.

And more generally, if you have comments, ideas or needs, please send in or
jump into the thread.

cheers,
Arnaud
