Since version 0.10.9, kwik requires the automatic module `io.whitfin.siphash`

[harrharr]

Up to 0.10.8, kwik used the modularized fork of siphash from io7m-com. Version 0.10.9, however, upgraded to the latest version of the original project, which is not modularized yet. By convention, modular artifacts requiring automatic modules should not be published to maven central for various reasons (breaks jlink/jpackage builds, for example) and the java compiler issues a warning ("requires directive for an automatic module").

Fortunately, this is not a problem for our project (see this readme), but other modular projects using kwik may be forced to stay with 0.10.8.

I proposed to make it a proper module (whitfin/siphash-java@4ebf457), but for some reason the author decided to transform it to an automatic module whitfin/siphash-java@9ecae58.

I requested again to make it a proper module, see whitfin/siphash-java#6. Let's see if the author is willing to do so, if not I will revert back to io7-com.

Thanks for making me aware of this issue, I didn't realise automatic modules cause that kind of trouble.
