Updating for offline use

• Run the gatherDependencies Gradle task from the root of the project to gather all the CorDapp's dependencies in lib/dependencies
• Update gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to point to a local Gradle distribution (e.g. distributionUrl=gradle-4.4.1-all.zip)
• In build.gradle, under both repositories blocks, comment out any repositories other than flatDir { ... }
