1.8.1

This patch reverts most of the breaking changes introduced in 1.8.0. Enforcing every JsonNode implementation to comply with Java's equals & hashCode was not necessary - in this release it works in more "hybrid" way, so the built-in JsonNode implementations take advantage of equals & hashCode, while 3rd party JsonNode implementations do not use it and fall back to old default equality check.

Summing up: custom JsonNode implementation don't need to worry about equality checks between the nodes as it will be handled automatically (assuming of course that implementation is compliant with the test suite).
