fix: remove deprecated parent pom

[suztomo]

I ran the diff in the effective poms on google-api-java-client/google-api-client/pom.xml below.

Would you add a description field in the root parent pom?

For the repository configuration, I believe Yoshi team's file uploading does not read the distributionManagement element.

What do you want the description field to say? The old description was simply incorrect so removing it completely is a step forward, and adding a new one is a separate issue.

[suztomo]

What do you want the description field to say?

Let's put "The Google APIs Client Library for Java is a flexible, efficient, and powerful Java client library for accessing any HTTP-based API on the web, not just Google APIs." (from the README.md of this repository)

[suztomo]

My concern on the description tag is that the nexus staging repository might require the field. If it doesn't require, then that's fine.

[elharo]

Good point. Added.
