Description

To log the revision flink-runtime creates a .version.properties file using the git-commit-id-plugin that is stored within the jar.

Here's an example:

git.commit.id.abbrev=1a9b648
git.commit.user.email=[e-mail]
git.commit.message.full=Commit for release 1.5.2\n
git.commit.id=1a9b6486a2d268d4fb8282c32d65fcc701d18e42
git.commit.message.short=Commit for release 1.5.2
git.commit.user.name=zentol
git.build.user.name=zentol
git.build.user.email=[e-mail]
git.branch=1a9b6486a2d268d4fb8282c32d65fcc701d18e42
git.commit.time=25.07.2018 @ 17\:10\:13 GMT
git.build.time=25.07.2018 @ 20\:47\:15 GMT
git.remote.origin.url=https\://github.com/zentol/flink.git

most of this information isn't used, as flink-runtime only access git.commit.id.abbrev and git.commit.time.
The build, remote and branch information should be removed as they are neither relevant, nor consistent, as releases can be created on any branch, under any git alias, against any remote.

To exclude properties we have to bump the plugin version to 2.1.9.
