Simplify build, support Java 11, cleanup readme #11

This commit changes nothing in the output except for how it is produced, and ideally paves the way to more simply producing just the output we need for the website.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This isn't going to work after all, I will try breaking it down into smaller pieces.
Specifically, the gwtquery upgrade has broken the expand/collapse menu icons, apparently 1.4.2 vs 1.5-beta1 changes at least one thing about how this works (two bugs observed, the content doesn't animate in as the content becomes visible, and the icons are reverse of what they are supposed to be (that is, when "open" the icon is pointing the correct direction and all are open by default, but contents are hidden).
However, in order to use newer GWT we need 1.5-beta1 (and there was never a stable release of 1.5).
With the app no longer including server components, this content could be merged into gwt-site itself, or could be kept separate to avoid rebuilding each time the markdown is rendered to html. This change keeps the UI separate, but it is no longer required to already have the markdown rendered to HTML to build this. To ease development, a profile exists to combine the content and JS.
Updates to ltgt gwt-maven-plugin and GWT 2.9. Until GQuery is either updated or dropped, GWT 2.10+ cannot be used.
