Since each sample has (supposedly) only one application class and not
a lot of the code, the `mainClassName` attribute in the gradle build is
not really useful and can lead to inconsistency if the application class
is moved.

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Given that the plugin will not be published to the Portal for the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.
See gh-1567
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”.

Apparently springloaded 1.1.5 was released to Maven Central with a
different groupId than to repo.spring.io. It would have worked in
milestones because the repository was declared.
See gh-648
Requires Loaded 1.1.5 (or better).
For Maven you can just add springloaded to the dependencies of the
spring-boot plugin (and also set MAVEN_OPTS=-noverify).
For Gradle add springloaded to the build dependencies (-noverify
can be added by the plugin).
In both cases there is also support for adding an arbitrary java agent
via configuration. Samples are provided in
spring-boot-sample-[simple,web-ui].
The ApplicationPlugin is only added if there is no JavaExec task
already present, and additionally it computes its own man class if
none is provided. So "gradle run" and "gradle bootRun" look
superficially similar, but "bootRun" has extra options, including
the agent and Loaded support.
Fixes gh-251, gh-183
Usage:
$ gradle bootRun
...
Edit files in src/main/resources and see the changes live in a web app
(e.g. static resources in /static).
The old functionality of bootRun has been replaced (since it didn't add
a lot of value and also didn't expose any JMV argument setters of anything).
This new feature set is backed by any existing "run" task configuration.
In addition autodetects a main class if there is one in the project
sources, so no need for mainClassName = '...' in build.gradle.
Applies the 'application' plugin (so no need to declare that either).
Fixes gh-225
