Migrate to Eclipse Deeplearning4j in kmath-nd4j

There is a new DEPRECATED marker for this in the plugin. The alternative is obviously https://github.com/tensorflow/java. See #295.

I think that ND4J has just migrated to Eclipse : https://github.com/eclipse/deeplearning4j.

What I find strange however, is that ND4J repository has not been archived, and I do not find any information related to the transition to the Eclipse repository. The only clue is that https://deeplearning4j.org/ inform users that they should rather use https://deeplearning4j.konduit.ai/, which talk about Eclipse DeepLearning4J.

If the aim is to provide interoperability, I think ND4J module should not be deprecated, but instead use Eclipse releases.
If the aim is to find a high-performance implementation, then I don't know how TensorFlow bindings compare with ND4J.

Thanks for the information!

I am not sure that we want to actually support ND4J if there is no specific request for it. With TensorFlow on the horizon (I'm finishing the initial draft). It becomes obsolete.
