gapic-generator-java chore: add generation config

java-iam/README.md is excluded from templating, should we not generate it?

I don't think it makes sense for both java-iam and java-common-protos to have READMEs, I think we can remove them and exclude them from generation. WDYT @suztomo ?

README.md files help people (including us) to understand the modules, regardless of it's generated or manually maintained.

I'll exclude README.md from generation and keep them as-is.

I don't disagree with the usefulness of READMEs, but if you look at the content of the README of java-common-protos, and README of java-iam, they are awfully wrong. For java-common-protos, I think it was a mistake to generate README in the first place as it is not a service. For java-iam, I can see some value if it is properly maintained. But currently it is not maintained and provide incorrect information like still support Java 7.
