Enhanced Apache Polaris runtime

[jbonofre]

Quarkus is an open source framework for Java (https://quarkus.io/) with a great ecosystem (e.g. extensions) and high performances (with a focus on build time resolution).
It's a good framework for cloud deployment, especially on Kubernetes.

I will open a proposal PR (draft first) providing polaris-service-quarkus as a proposal to use Quarkus instead of Dropwizard.

Great enhancement request.

We switched to Quarkus quite some time ago using it in many large scale scenarios. It was/is a great improvement not only for the products but also for the developer joy :)

The icing on the cake for us was also switching from Java to Kotlin + Quarkus running on the JVM.

As shared on the mailing list, the branch is here: https://github.com/jbonofre/polaris/tree/QUARKUS

As reminder, the purpose of Quarkus (for Polaris):

• CDI model powered by annotations
• More friendly pluggable mechanism
• Extensions ecosystem
• Performance boost
