Library has Kotlin runtime bundled into it about auto HOT 3 OPEN

I think we could probably make this a <scope>provided</scope> dependency, so it's used when building AutoValue but not included in the bundled dependencies.

Isn't auto-value supposed to only be on the processor classpath, and auto-value-annotations on the compile classpath?

(that said, the Kotlin runtime probably should be a normal dependency rather than shaded? or maybe it's just an issue with shading where it leaves some Kotlin-specific metadata files that should be removed or somehow shaded as well?)

I already felt a bit bad about bundling the Kotlin runtime. If you're using @AutoBuilder with Kotlin data classes then you presumably already have it, and if you're not using Kotlin at all then it's slightly weird for it to be there. I think with a small bit of reflection we can make things work when it is provided.
