Changes to concatenate and transform file contents when merging jars

[Peter Donald]

I am curious what the use case for this is? Is it mostly merged metadata
descriptors of one sort or another?

I have added to the codebase changes to allow concatenating file contents
when merging archives.
I am also opening a pull request to do the same thing, but transforming

This is the equivalent - albeit in a more generic way - to the resource transformers of the Maven shade plugin:
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/resource-transformers.html <https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/resource-transformers.html>

This also should help with things like the uberjar extension, or in general creating executable, shaded/all-in-one jars.

To be complete, this came from my experience around Kotlin.

Here is the project I have created working with Kotlin, ,making a Spring boot executable jar.

Note the project also comes with a gradle build file so you can compare!
