Add JReleaser config (#2059)

Adds the jreleaser plugin and configuration for publishing to
Maven Central. Using the plugin is configurable with a Gradle
property, so we can continue to use the old release method if
necessary. The `closeRepository` and `releaseRepository` props
in the jreleaser config are set to false right now so we can
check the staged artifacts before actually releasing, but can
be changed later to automatically release.
