Description

There was some discussion on the mailing list regarding releasing our source in just 1 format.

See https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/calcite-dev/201804.mbox/%3CD60019E6-FC62-4C24-B2F0-5278E51E5626%40apache.org%3E

There is some consensus around just releasing a tar.gz. I think this is a good idea and is something we should aim for, for the Calcite 1.17 and Avatica 1.12 releases.

The following changes will be needed:

• Update build script for avatica-go.
• Update maven config for avatica.
• Update calcite config for calcite.

We will need to update the website to deal the zip files not existing. My proposal is that we edit the old release posts to include a `has_zip: true` property. For the old releases, the website should render a link to the zip. For the new releases, we do not need to do anything.
