* Gazebo Jetty roadmap update

This simplifies the roadmap page and removes the roadmap items for older
versions of Gazebo since we have changed our development model to focus
on the next version of Gazebo and backporting if possible.

## Feature Roadmap

A number of features are planned for specific releases of Gazebo. The
features listed here derive from the Quarterly Roadmap, listed above, and other
ongoing projects. See the [Release Features](release-features) page
for a list of features already available in each release of Gazebo.

A named release of Gazebo, such as Acropolis or Blueprint, is tied to
a set of [library](/libs){.external} major versions. Our
[development and release pattern](releases) allows us to distribute
patch and minor updates into a stable Gazebo version. For example, if a new
feature does not break API/ABI then we will target the feature to the oldest
compatible non-EOL release and propagate the feature forward.
