0.6.0

The 0.6.0 release of gradle-java-distribution plugin replaces the Bash-based launch mechanism by a compiled
Go binary. Configuration is done via the generated service/bin/launcher-static.yml file. The Bash scripts are still generated, but considered deprecated, at least as far as the init.sh script is concerned.

NOTE: Custom JVM arguments can no longer be set via JVM_OPTS environment variables and must instead be defined in var/conf/launcher-custom.yml.
