All plugins currently have their own licenses dir for the
dependencyLicenses task, but core disables this and has the check inside
distribution. This may have been better for maven, but for
gradle it makes more sense to just use the dependencyLicenses task that
automatically exists inside :core, and remove the hacked up version that
is inside distribution.
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
Added a licenses/ directory to core which contains a sha1 file for each JAR
dependency, and one or more LICENSE files and one NOTICE file for each
project.
Also adds dev-tools/src/main/resources/license-check/check_license_and_sha.pl
which checks that the licenses/ dir is up to date during a mvn verify,
and which can be used to update the sha1 files when upgrading dependencies.
