Bug: No redistributable source release is created

[rleigh]

The Bio-Formats build isn't capable of creating a source release zip/tar file. This is a major defect--it's not possible for third parties to download and build the *actual release*.

Add a release-src or equivalent target to create a source release.

The following creates a versioned source release. However, I'm not sure including all of ant/common.xml is a good idea. Could we factor the versioning stuff out into a separate ant/version.xml that just deals with versioning?
