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.
