Code cleanup after fix for #404.

Updated dependencies

 - removed jxl dependency, xls files will be handled using poi. log4j
1.x was one of the dependency from jxl. By removing this dependency now
log4j also will not get resolved. User can add any library of their
choice for logging.
 - removed commons-lang dependency, will be resolved by commons-io
 - updated commons-io version from 2.5 to 2.11.0
 - removed slf4j-log4j12 dependency. Now log4j is not required or
resolved, removing this dependency.
 - added poi dependency with compile scope. It should exclude transitive
dependencies from poi-ooxml. Updated poi version from 4.1.2 to 5.0.0

Closed #386

Fixed `NullPointerException` in `PoiExcelUtil.getTableDataAsMap` when
