Move module-info.java to /src/main/java

See original GitHub issue

To build gson as a JPMS module, the module-info.java file needs to be in src/main/java, not in src/main/java/com.google.gson.

I checked https://guides.gradle.org/building-java-9-modules/ for confirmation.

With that change, and with these changes in build.gradle, the JAR builds fine as a modular JAR.

sourceCompatibility = 9
targetCompatibility = 9
// sourceSets.main.java.exclude("**/module-info.java")

The solution is easy. Do not use Gson, or anything else from Google.

This was resolved almost 1 year ago yet there is still no release. Considering we’re on a stable Java 12 release and some running Java 14 pre-builds and modularity should have been completely adopted by Java 11, can we please at least get a release addressing this issue? Even if it’s a minor release, 2.8.5.1. For projects where automatic modules aren’t an option (jlink for instance), it’s an inconvenience.
