Lighthouse score for GWT-Material apps decreased due to unload listener in older embedded JQuery

[garthhenning]

Google Lighthouse now scores use of an unload listener poorly for their "Best Practices" score.

GWT-Material v2.8.3 has an embedded dependency on JQuery v3.5.1. JQuery v3.5.1 attaches unload listeners. JQuery corrected this in v3.7.1.

Updating the embedded JQuery would mean web sites using GWT-Material no longer get their scores decremented.
