Closes #4708 This updates jsoncpp, mbedtls, TCLAP and SQLiteCpp to their latest stable release. A few additional changes were needed: * jsoncpp deprecated Reader, FastWriter and StyledWriter which I've replaced with some helper functions in JsonUtils.cpp * SQLiteCpp changed how it builds with external sqlite libraries, now expecting them to be installed. The simplest path was to remove sqlite from cuberite's submodule and just use SQLiteCpp's internal version.
