[X3D-Ecosystem] Replace Nashorn with GraalJS on web3d.org

[John Carlson]

If you want contributions regarding GraalJS (possibly with regard to node,
but not preferred) and X3DJSAIL, we can discuss updates to the sourceforge
repository.  Stripping out Pyjnius would be an early task.

Also, GraalPy developments for X3DJSAIL can also be considered.

There are two critical files:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/graaljs/net/coderextreme/data/X3Dautoclass.js

And

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/graalpy/net/coderextreme/data/x3dpsail.py

Sorry, I haven’t renamed the python package yet.

There are plenty of examples in those folders as well.

I hope you consider upgrading X3dToES6.xslt as well.

Also, this might be worth mentioning:
