ASF Release Policy states that we cannot have binary JAR files checked
in to our source releases, a few other projects have solved this by
modifying their generated gradlew scripts to download a copy of the
wrapper jar.
We now have a version and checksum file in ./gradle/wrapper directory
used for verifying the wrapper jar, and will take advantage of single
source java execution to verify and download.
The gradle wrapper jar will continue to be available in the git
repository, but will be excluded from src tarball generation. This
should not change workflows for any users, since we expect the gradlew
script to get the jar when it is missing.

By default, when a Solr contributor creates their own fork, only they
have access to that fork. This creates a bit of a roadblock when users
contribute PRs from these forks - others can't build off of their work -
something that is done often with patches. An initial user might
contribute a feature, a committer might add tests or change formatting,
etc.
This commit introduces a bullet point to our PR checklist to nudge users
towards making their PR branches more open so that it's easier for committers
to help them.
