Updated glTF-Project-Explorer data file based on issue about
broken links (KhronosGroup/glTF#1786)

• Seems to be working: https://www.opencascade.com/content/cad-assistant
• Removed: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/99793
• Was not contained in data file yet: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#!/content/40946
• Replaced with main repo link: https://github.com/emadurandal/GLBoost/blob/master/src/js/middle_level/loader/GLTFLoader.js
• Removed: https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/gltf-utilities
• Updated https://facebook.github.io/react-vr/ to new link
• Removed "simplygon" - it's "simply gon...e"
  (While "simplygon.com" seems to still exist, there is no information about glTF support, and the
  links https://azuremarketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps/simplygon.simplygon
  and https://simplygonclouddoc.simplygon.com/tutorials/firstprocessing.html#asset are dead

For the main glTF README.md:

• Removed glTF - Seattle Khronos Group Meetup by Saurabh Bhatia. September 2017
• Updated link for Why glTF 2.0 is awesome! by Arthur Brainville. July 2018

The point about "anchor links" as also addressed: The README now contains "empty links" in the "glTF Tools" section, like

<a id="user-content-optimizers" href="#optimizers"></a>

This way, anchors should keep working, and a link like

https://github.com/javagl/glTF/tree/project-list-migration#converters-importers-and-exporters

should directly jump to the section that links to the project explorer (instead of pointing to the top of the README). For example:

https://github.com/javagl/glTF/tree/project-list-migration#converters-importers-and-exporters

from gltf-project-explorer.

(If this is OK, I'd create PRs for both projects, but since it covers two projects, any discussion should preferably happen here, in one thread, and not in the individual PRs...)

from gltf-project-explorer.

I'm supportive of this, @javagl. Please let me know how I can help.

Thanks @weegeekps

The state could already be PR'ed. But one of the main points is whether people are happy with the new ("lean") README, without the tables.

(In terms of a further cleanup, one could also pull out things like the "Presentations and Articles" list from the main README into an own .MD. But maybe that's not as critical as the projects list. The latter had been a bit scattered with the README tables, the project explorer and the late-breaking issue - hopefully, this can not converge into a state that is easier to maintain...)

I have created two PRs

• Mainly removing the tables from the main glTF README: KhronosGroup/glTF#1796
• Adding/Updating the information for the project explorer: #43

Considering that there are already issues/PRs that might become obsolete, I'd like to avoid diverging too much from the master branches. The information from the following issue/PR have to be considered after merging:

• KhronosGroup/glTF#1791
• KhronosGroup/glTF#1795 (somewhat critical, open for 3 days already...)

from gltf-project-explorer.

Both PRs are merged, therefore closing.
