Add artefacts to Maven repository about protolock

[nilslice]

@rost5000 - that sounds cool, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure how to publish to Maven repo though.. is this something that you could PR as a Github Action? I can convert protolock's CI to Github Action and automate the release (which is long overdue...), but if you know how to do the Maven portion, I'd be grateful for a PR that at least illustrates how it is done.

@nilslice, Thank you for replying. I think that the optimal way is publishing to sonar (https://central.sonatype.org/publish/requirements/coordinates/) using Gradle. The following steps are needed:

1. Register to sonar jira and create task to open public artifacts (https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-guide/#create-a-ticket-with-sonatype)
2. The gpg keys with tool: https://www.gnupg.org/download/
3. Then publish using gradle

I can do it myself manually with your permition. However, I did not face with github CI actions...

You also can see an example of Gradle publishing to local Maven repository in: https://github.com/rost5000/protoloc-gradle-publisher

Thanks for the info, @rost5000 -- I have a few other things on my list with higher priority right now, but will get to this as soon as possible.
