Also removed warnings about protoc version matching runtime, since this
is no longer supposed to be a problem (starting with 3.0.0-beta-4) and
all our tests ran fine when using protoc 3.0.2 with protobuf runtime
3.1.0.
Fixes#2316
protoc no longer builds in 3.0.0 because auto-download of the gmock zip
now fails. 3.0.2 has a fix to autogen:

All that was strictly necessary was to update .travis.yml and
buildscripts/, but it helps our sanity to keep the rest of the protobuf
versions in sync. Lite is left on its existing version, because it did
not see a bump of neither the java library nor the protoc plugin.
This allows us to play with zero-copy and proto3 support for lite.
Unfortunately, it introduced some warnings, so deprecated warnings are
now ignored for benchmarks and interop-testing.
The compilation instructions are long and scary, and they distract from
other documentation in the README. Most users don't need them, so by
moving the instructions out we improve the ease of use of the document.
