[wwwdocs,Java] java/index.html -- fix formatting on gcc.gnu.org

It turns out the stricter server settings also broke the /java
page on gcc.gnu.org.

This restores showing two columns on this page (though it still
uses non-standard CSS extensions).


That said, looking at the page, and how since 2005 nearly all changes
have been maintainance ones from me, is it really worthwhile keeping
this (short of historic reasons)?

	* index.html: Replace manual style to establish two columns
	by new global CSS class "twocolumns".

I guess the next news will be the removal of GCJ during the
GCC 7 development period, so its remaining shelf life should
be limited anyway.

Soo, GCC 6 has branched -- would it make sense for you guys to
start this removal?

Somewhat related, any concerns if I were to remove
https://gcc.gnu.org/java/status.html now?

("Status of GCJ as of GCC 3.2" _really_ is rather old.)

Sounds good.  OTOH, I don't think there's any great hurry.

It's so old that I don't think it's of any use.  However, I wonder if
it might make more sense to at least have a page saying that GCJ is
gone.

No, the home page says:

  Status: 2016-03-10 (regression fixes & docs only).

for gcc 7 (aka trunk).  Technically, that should update to say all fixes, _before_ any change goes in.  :-)

I must admit, I’m not sure why trunk is listed that way now.  I did expect branching to have switched that.
