This change upgrades the NetBeans platform on which IGV is based to its latest version ([12.3](https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb123/index.html)) and switches IGV's build system from Ant to Maven. The upgrade introduces support for a wide range of JDK versions (from 8 to 15, the latest version supported by NetBeans 12.3), and the switch from Ant to Maven makes the IGV build simpler, faster (first-time build is approximately 5x faster), and more stable (all dependencies are fetched directly from the Maven central repository).

The change also fixes broken unit tests in the Data module and runs them by default when building.

#### Testing

Regression-tested the following use cases manually on all combinations of (Linux, Windows, macOS) and (JDK 8, JDK 11, JDK 15):

- build
- open graph file (small.xml in [test-input.zip](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/attachment/93988/test-input.zip))
- import graphs via network (localhost)
- expand groups in outline
- open a graph
- open a clone
- zoom in and out
- search a node
- apply filters
- extract a node
- show all nodes
- select nodes corresponding to a bytecode
- view control flow
- select nodes corresponding to a basic block
- cluster nodes
- show satellite view
- compute the difference of two graphs
- change node text
- remove a group
- save groups into a file
- open a large graph file (large.xml in [test-input.zip](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/secure/attachment/93988/test-input.zip))
- open a large graph ("After Escape Analysis" in large.xml)

Thanks to Vladimir Ivanov for helping with testing on macOS.
