    [EDGENT-413] Adding publishing support for ASF repos.

    This is the first step for EDGENT-413.  The publishing support was mostly there, this adds references to the ASF managed username/password and snapshot URL, if we choose snapshots.  When doing a release you can now publish and it will create a staging repo.
    
    To setup staging, you would need to create `~/.gradle/gradle.properties` and add `asfNexusUsername` and `asfNexusPassword` as properties, pointing to your ASF credentials.

> Edgent binaries are not distributed via maven.  To simplify consumer use cases, it would be better to see these binaries in a java based repository manager.
> When doing this, it would also be good to remove the heavy binary distribution in favor of a simpler maven staging repository with the binaries in it, but it may make sense to split out that work after this is in.
