We have a "HUGE HACK" that allows us to publish zip artifacts to
Sonatype's OSS repository without javadoc and source jars. We don't
include those jars because the zip is just a repackaging of the
core and module jars for which we already publish the javadoc and
source jars. So we have a hack to publish the zip artifact when the
pom says the project is of type 'pom'.
I'm not sure why we need this pom instead of the pom generated by
nebula, but if we are going to have it then we need to populate it
with appropriate stuff like project name, description, and url.
* Build: Remove old maven deploy support
This change removes the old maven deploy that we have in parallel to
maven-publish, and makes maven-publish fully work with publishing to
maven local. Using `gradle publishToMavenLocal` should be used to
publish to .m2.
Note that there is an unfortunate hack that means for
zip artifacts we must first create/publish a dummy pom file, and then
follow that with the real pom file. It would be nice to have the pom
file contains packaging=zip, but maven central then requires sources and
javadocs. But our zips are really just attached artifacts, so we already
set the packaging type to pom for our zip files. This change just works
around a limitation of the underlying maven publishing library which
silently skips attached artifacts when the packaging type is set to pom.

* Remove unnecessary extra spacing
In preparation for a unified release process, we need to be able to
generate the pom files independently of trying to actually publish. This
change adds back the maven-publish plugin just for that purpose. The
nexus plugin still exists for now, so that we do not break snapshots,
but that can be removed at a later time once snapshots are happenign
through the unified tools. Note I also changed the dir jars are written
into so that all our artifacts are under build/distributions.
