After spending a year in the sandbox repository, the Headless Platform is now 
ready to be reviewed in the main repository.

### the Headless Platform
The Headless Platform is a top-level com.sun.glass.ui platform that replaces 
the second-level Monocle-Headless subplatform, that is part of the top-level 
Monocle platform. 
The platform can be used like any other platform, especially for running 
headless JavaFX applications, or for running tests (e.g. on CI systems)

### changes
The code for the Headless Platform is in a new package 
com.sun.glass.ui.headless in the javafx.graphics module, and it does not 
require a code change in other packages.
This PR adds a simple change in the `build.gradle` file, to make the Headless 
Platform the standard when running headless tests (instead of using 
Monocle/Headless)

### enable the Headless Platform
Setting the system property `glass.platform` to `Headless` will select the 
Headless Platform instead of the default one (either gtk, mac or win).

### testing
`gradlew --info -PHEADLESS_TEST=true -PFULL_TEST=true :systemTests:cleanTest 
:systemTests:test`
runs all the system tests, apart from the robot tests. There are 2 failing 
tests, but there are valid reasons for those to fail.

### robot tests
Most of the robot tests are working on headless as well. add `-PUSE_ROBOT` to 
test those.
