remove incomplete gradle wrapper infrastructure Since jar files (including gradle-wrapper.jar) have to be excluded from source releases current gradle wrapper infrastructure was incomplete rendering it unusable and confusing (I expected gradlew script to work without having to run default gradle task to download gradle-wrapper.jar).
