[WIP] Binary artifacts, but cannot be merged

Fixes #6072

[Hixie]

These files are in violation of Google's third-party policies.

All third-party files must be in a third_party subdirectory with clear license terms.

(Separate from that, you'll need to have us update the central configuration — our allstar configuration disables per-repo configs so that we can audit it all easily, so this PR won't actually work.)

[stevemessick]

Thanks for the clarification!

[godofredoc]

Thanks, @Hixie. I'll ask if we can opt out individual files.

[stevemessick]

We should include a script to run the Gradle wrapper when it moves into third_party. The alternative would be symlinks, which just cause problems on Windows, so let's not do that. We will need scripts for both Mac/Linux and Windows.

@Hixie do we have a deadline for compliance?

There is no deadline yet, but given that having binaries checked in is consider a high risk I'd recommend that we aim for <2 weeks.

For the next step I'll opt out flutter-intellij temporarily while we work towards the final solution.

@blasten are there any java third party dependency management best practices that can help us here?

[stevemessick]

Thanks @godofredoc! We shouldn't need two weeks. #6087 will take care of it.

[stevemessick]

Close this, since it can't be merged and another PR (#6087) is out for review.
