[Building Sakai] Removing standalone modes for sections/gradebook

[Jon Gorrono]

I followed the trail from
SAK-23907<https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-23907>to here...
and as
one of the few remaining survivors who have run Standalone in the past (but
not in production): +1 for removal :)

For the Wikipedia page about it: the Standalone Gradebook was created
first, IIRC. And, IMO it had about 3X the coolness quotient, with graphing
and such.... I think it even had some UI components with text at 45 degree
angles for better graph readability, or some such craziness... it worked.
