Produce Maven project

[joeshannon]

Assemble artifacts from other workflows to generate a maven project compatible with the current structure of the hdf bundles as used in the Dawn build.

@PeterC-DLS Just wanted some initial feedback about this, particularly all the metadata in the pom.

Still todo:

• Add info to project README
• Copy the license files from third party code
• Decide on versioning scheme

I think this could be simplified by making this an integration workflow that calls the other build workflows where they set a common name for their uploads. Then can also ensure all builds succeed.

Yes that sounds like it would definitely be nicer. The current downloading is just looking for the last successful build which is not very robust and could lead to major inconsistencies.

Do you know how to do this/have any examples?

For reference, the only thing I've found related to the win32 tar failure is https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-May/253738.html

I've put in this slightly horrible workaround for now.
I had a look at a newer windows image as suggested but it seemed to be missing a lot of build dependencies.

It will do, thanks!
