[HIVE-4731] Hive needs to provide source only releases

Description

Hive's official release currently includes binaries such as jars. This is actually counter to Apache policy. Hive should instead be producing a source only (no binaries, no jars) release. It is free to also provide a convenience package that includes the compiled jars, but this is not the official release.
