Prior to this commit, the generated POMs for Spring Framework modules
would contain unneeded/harmful information from the Spring Framework
build:
1. The BOM imports applied to each module by the dependency
management plugin, for example for Netty or Reactor Netty.
Spring should not export that opinion to its POMs.
2. The exclusion of "org.slf4:jcl-over-slf4j" from *all* dependencies,
which made the POMs much larger than necessary and suggested to
developers that they should exclude it as well when using all those
listed dependencies. In fact, only Apache Tiles currently brings that
transitively.
This commit removes that information from the POMs.
The dependencyManagement Gradle plugin is disabled for POM generation
and we manually resolve the dependency versions during the generation
phase.
The Gradle build is streamlined to exclude "org.slf4:jcl-over-slf4j"
only when necessary.

Gradle 4.6 provides built-in support for the JUnit Platform within the
standard `test` task.
This commit configures a custom `testJUnitJupiter` test task for
executing JUnit Jupiter tests directly on the JUnit Platform instead of
indirectly on JUnit 4 via @RunWith(JUnitPlatform.class).
This switch provides for better integration with Gradle's test reporting
and paves the way for a possible transition to the JUnit Platform in the
future.

Prior to this commit, various dependencies in the spring-test module
pulled in commons-logging as a transitive dependency. Consequently,
the presence of commons-logging in the generated Eclipse classpath
overrode the intended use of the spring-jcl module causing JUL to be
used instead of log4j for tests executed within Eclipse, thereby
ignoring the configuration in src/test/resources/log4j2-test.xml.
This commit addresses this issue by excluding commons-logging in
spring-test.gradle for all Selenium dependencies.

This commit applies the Dependency Management Plugin to modules that
require it; right now Spring Framework is importing BOMs for Netty and
Reactor dependencies only.
Instead of applying those BOMs to all modules, they're applied only
where they're needed.
