[OpenID] use of net.openid vs com.sxip for Java libraries

With regards to the name spacing issues for the OpenID4Java project, I have
configured the domain to redirect to the OpenID4Java.org Google project
page.

http://www.openid4java.org

If everyone is fine with it moving forward we can refactor to this package
structure.

Cheers,

Justen
