### Why are the changes needed? Simplify build and reduce maintenance overhead The sources maven profile was introduced in HIVE-5717 among others to package source code into a .jar and publish it to maven. However, after adding Apache pom as parent in HIVE-6608 the sources profile is now redundant; it is subsumed by the apache-release profile. In some cases, the sources profile allows to package the test sources in a jar file (HIVE-13206) but this profile is not used during the release so the generated test-sources.jars are not consumed by anyone. This seems like an unused dev only feature thus it can be removed. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? Devs will no longer have the option to generate test-sources.jar using the `sources` profile. ### Is the change a dependency upgrade? No ### How was this patch tested?
