To be compatible with Gradle's plugin portal, plugins must have an
ID that uses a reverse domain name. This means that spring-boot is
not compatible.
This commit introduces a new ID, org.springframework.boot, and
deprecates the old ID.

Breaking API changes in Gradle 3.0 make it impossible to support
it reliably alongside Gradle 1 and 2 without mainintaining multiple
versions of our Gradle plugin. This commit updates the documentation
to note that Gradle 3 is not supported.
Closes gh-6880
"Starter POM" is a confusing term as it implies the starter may be a
POM while it's actually a jar artifact like any other dependency. To
reduce the confusion (especially in the way such starter should be
declared in the build), the term Starter POM has been renamed to Starter.

Update documentation section that discusses uber jars since it conflates
the concepts of the uber jar and the shading of dependencies into jars
(which may or may not be true uber jars).

This reverts commit b1c0a7cda4.
The plugin publishing process has moved to a new plugin-based approach
that brings with it some significant limitations:
- There's no staging to allow the promotion of good release builds
- There's no easy way to upload an existing artifact
- There's no control over the published pom.
The risk brought by these limitations, particularly the first, are
too great so we will no be publishing the Boot plugin to the Portal
until they're resolved.
Changing the plugin's ID was a breaking change that would require
users to do some work when they upgrade to Boot 1.3. The ID of the
plugin was changed purely so that it met the Portal's requirements.
Given that the plugin will not be published to the Portal for the
foreseaable future there's no need for us to inflict a breaking change
on people when there will be no benefit.

Gradle’s plugin portal requires each plugin’s ID to be in a namespace.
Our existing ID, spring-boot, does not meet this requirement. This
commit changes the plugin’s ID to org.springframework.boot.spring-boot.
Note that, as is recommended [1], the plugin’s ID does not include
“gradle”.

I preferred /etc/bash_completion.d (since it mirrors the actual
preferred deployment of the scripts on my OS). Maybe the MacBoys
have a different point of view? Anyway the docs now point to the
actual script location.
