Delete apps-contrib/resources/kinetic-merge.json

[sageserpent-open]

Kinetic Merge has been split into a core library plus two CLI applications that use the core, so it no longer makes sense to point Coursier at what is now purely a library artifact.

I trust that a straight file deletion is OK for this, but if it makes more sense to keep the entry for Kinetic Merge with a pinned version number for the last all-in-one release, then let me know and I’ll do that instead.

I should mention that it was I who raised #265 that introduced the entry for Kinetic Merge. 😄

Given the build error, looks like that’s the only option. I’ll rework this PR…

OK, I've force pushed ce9cc37 so as to merely curtail the revisions of Kinetic Merge that can be distributed, but this still fails the validation step, as there are subsequent library-only releases published to Sonatype. Ironically, that's why this PR exists in the first place. 😁

I'm hoping that while validation fails due to this technicality, the other two builds steps succeed, so can this be merged anyway without breaking Coursier?

curious, we should be able to just remove it. @alexarchambault did some changes on it recently, so maybe the validation is too strict?

Alternatively, you can override the jar used for newer versions of the library (use instead one of the jars that it was split into)
