Fixes and improvements:

• Solved a potential deadlock between ReferencingFactoryFinder and BufferedCoordinateOperationFactory, which might trigger when the system is under load
• Fixes in SLD multifont support
• Fixed in the new fast GML 3 encoder path, which was not properly encoding pure geometry collections, and data with 3d coordinates
• Fixed WFSDataStore failing to start if some numeric params are provided as string, and disabled the complex feature version of it, which was errouneusly taking over the simple feature version (resource to complete the complex feature one wanted)
• Improved parsing GML files with no/invalid schema reference
• And more ...
