Removing mockingDetails API from Mockito

See original GitHub issue

After some exchange with other member of the community, code such as

Mockito.mockingDetails(someObject).isMock();
Mockito.mockingDetails(someObject).isSpy();

It looks wrong ; Mockito is the entry point for user friendly usage from within the test. Inspecting mocks looks wrong when it’s a normal user.

However I know framework developers may need to inspect mocks. Let’s keep the MockingDetails type but instantiate it from another static factory method.

The drawback is the removal of this API for current users. Maybe we can mark Mockito.mockingDetails(..) deprecated in 1.9.x and remove it in 2.0.0

Per discussion in Slack with @marcingrzejszczak on Spring Boot, these methods would be the replacement for the MockUtil classes to be backwards compatible for both Mockito 1.9.X and Mockito 2.X.
