Generate native installers with Gradle JavaFX plugin

The plugin's jfx* tasks tie into the normal Gradle build lifecycle, such that `gradle build` will now generate executables and installers according to the OS on which the build is being run. These files are output to the `build/distributions` directory. Installers work as expected OS X and Linux at this point. Windows installers do build, but a very particular configuration is necessary on the Windows machine doing the building (this configuration is to be documented in #109). However, even when the configuration is in place and the MSI installer is successfully built, there is still a fatal error at installer execution time relating to a missing msvp100.dll file. See details at https://bitbucket.org/shemnon/javafx-gradle/issue/43. An issue has been created to track this from the Bitsquare side as well--see #108. The changes made in this commit are based on on the samples at http://bitbucket.org/shemnon/javafx-gradle and the article at http://jaxenter.com/tutorial-a-guide-to-the-gradle-javafx-plugin-46270.html The gradle/javafx.gradle file is copied directly from the sources in the bitbucket repository above, as is apparently the convention (not sure why this isn't part of the plugin itself, but that's a question to be addressed later). Resolves #66, #100 See #108, #109
