Replace build.sbt about reactive-streams-jvm

[viktorklang]

See #34

I think the top choice back then was Gradle.

[ouertani]

@viktorklang I vote upon maven as it is the default build tool for java project. Despite, Gradle start to be adopted by many projects as it is more simple and powerful, Maven still the direct choice and this case.

note : sbt propose mavenization using makePom cmd

Default build tool for Java?

[ouertani]

I mean straightforward or direct choice.

[viktorklang]

Given that there are very few expected to build this project (implementations and users would depend on the published artifacts), I am confident we can go with the contributor vote winner of Gradle.

(My multi-year experience of Maven is that it is the next-worst build tool after Ant.)

@viktorklang 💯 agree that Gradle is better and powerful 👍 then Maven. But since we build an api and not library or a framework, old maven could be the right choice.
Think about Vert.x : version 3 is moving from Gradle to Maven : discussion

I know I'm repeating myself but the reactive streams project -should not-
be built by a user. There is no (to me apparent) need to. Users may use
whatever buildtool they like and depend on the published RS artifacts.

(Right now sbt works and there's much more important work to be done, so
spending time switching build tool needs justification, see the Issue I
linked to earlier where Gradle was the consensus but we decided to hold off
switching until 1.0-ish)

PS. You are able to configure any build tool to build Reactive Streams with
but I don't see why that should need to leak into the RS repo.
