Remove notes about HTML 5 offline support

As it stands now, we are probably never going to implement an
offline client using Google Gears or HTML 5.  Instead we are more
likely to make our database distributed, and offer offline support
by letting users just clone the Gerrit database onto their laptops.
This most likely rules out being able to do code reviews on an
Android powered phone, but its also already very hard to properly
mark a change "Verified" with such a device because one cannot do
a full compile of the project on such limited capability devices.

on any JavaScript enabled browser which GWT can produce code for.
This covers the majority of the popular browsers.
The Gerrit project wants to offer offline support via the HTML 5
standard and/or Google Gears plugin, both of which would require
the UI to be rendered in JavaScript on the client side.
The Gerrit project does not have the development resources necessary
to support two parallel UI implementations (GWT based JavaScript
and server-side rendering). Consequently only one is implemented.

We like it. Plus we can write Java code once and run it both in
the browser and on the server side. This will be very useful as
we implement offline support in Gerrit.
