Making clear that modules under contrib do not build

[Jean-Sebastien Delfino <js...@apache.org>]

I think that the java/sca/contrib directory has potential to confuse 
people, as many modules under contrib have obsolete pom.xml files, are 
not actively maintained and are not building.

I was thinking about renaming the pom.xml files under contrib to 
pom.xml.off for example and adding a README to this directory indicating 
the status of these modules, to make this clear and avoid that people 
waste time trying to build and use these old modules, like our old 
Tuscany WAR plugin under contrib for example.

What do people think?
