chore(SDBI-3897): Address security vulnerabilities associated with Vardict.

* Upgraded htsjdk to 3.0.5; this is not the latest available but the latest
  that does not carry compilation errors.
* Upgraded additional transitive dependencies with vulnerabilities (ant, commons-compress and snappy-java)
* Bumped version to 1.8.3.1
* Updated gradlew version to 6.9.3 as current one seems to be problematic to build a docker image.
* Explicitly point to maven repository provoding url as the default seems to be problematic when building a docker image.
* Deleted pre-builded release zip files.

-> This is the Final Version of VarDict. No longer maintained.
+This is a forked Version based on the original VarDict-Java 1.8.3 (the latest release produced).
+The intent of this fork is *not* to add new functionalty but just to do some basic maintenance of otherwise no longer
+supported valuable piece of software. This encompasses fixing security vulnerabilities and perhaps fix some
+"show stopper" bugs as these araise.
