Description

This is an umbrella issue for various sub-tasks as per my e-mail [1].
[1] https://markmail.org/thread/f7yrggnynq2ijgmy

In this order, perhaps:

•  Apply small text file changes (LUCENE-10163)
•  Simplify artifacts (LUCENE-10199 drop ZIP binary),
•  LUCENE-10192 drop third party JARs.
• Create an additional binary artifact for Luke (LUCENE-9978).
•  only include relevant binary license/ notice files
•  make sure source package can be compiled (no .git folder).
•  Test everything with the smoke tester.
