[x3d-public] feedback request: moving X3D programming language libraries

[John Carlson]

Clarification:

We won't move nashorn to archive until nashorn is removed from OpenJDK.

I will try to support nashorn X3DJSONLD folks with GraalVM.  I will likely
create a new folder for GraalVM under X3DJSONLD/src/main/graal
