Updated maven support for closure-compiler

[Paul Lindner]

Huzzah, native maven support has landed in the closure-compiler tree.  I would appreciate any feedback so we can release maven artifacts for the next major release.  Here are some notes on the new support:

BUILD/INSTALL

Execute 

  mvn install

to create a local 1.0-SNAPSHOT release from the source tree.  By default this compiles the code, copies files and runs the test suite.  Add -DskipTests=true if you don't want to run tests.

ARTIFACTS

The new artifacts are

   closure-compiler-parent -- common definitions used by modules.

   closure-compiler-rhino  -- The rhino fork used by closure-compiler.

   closure-compiler-externs -- The externs code  (If you want you could override this target in your build)

   closure-compiler -- everything else

Note that these jars do not contain the ant plugin, the command line, or an executable uber-jar.  If time permits I'll try to add these features too.

OTHER NOTES

- Dependencies were all updated to the proper versions.

- The old ant-based maven build process has been removed.

- I'll set up a jenkins instance to push out snapshots (and to catch build breakages since this isn't yet integrated into Google's internal test suite.)

Great news! Thanks so much, Paul!
