closes #1056
Description of the Change
I removed all dependencies that I could. I also updated the logging code to use the log4j 2 api. I also added comments what we use which lib for. Finally I updated the gradle wrapper to the current version.
Possible Drawbacks
Some dependencies still get pulled by other libs we use. When we remove the libs that pull them in we have to readd them.
Release Notes
I don't think that this needs to be mentioned.
