Prior to this commit, the Spring Framework build would partially use the
dependency management plugin to import and enforce BOMs.
This commit applies the dependency management plugin to all Java
projects and regroups all version management declaration in the root
`build.gradle` file (versions and exclusions).
Some versions are overridden in specific modules for
backwards-compatibility reasons or extended support.
This commit also adds the Gradle versions plugin that checks for
dependency upgrades in artifact repositories and produces a report; you
can use the following:
./gradlew dependencyUpdates
Instead of relying on the CI server to apply and configure this plugin,
this commit does it directly in the Spring Framework build.
This allows us to take full control over which projects are published
and how.

Prior to this commit, the build would use a custom task to create a BOM
and manually include/exclude/customize dependencies. It would also use
the "maven" plugin to customize the POM before publication.
This commit now uses a Gradle Java Platform for publishing the Spring
Framework BOM. We're also now using the "maven-publish" plugin to
prepare and customize publications.
This commit also tells the artifactory plugin (which is currently
applied only on the CI) not to publish internal modules.
See gh-23282
This commit reorganizes tasks and scripts in the build to only apply
them where they're needed. We're considering here 3 "types" of projects
in our build:
* the root project, handling documentation, publishing, etc
* framework modules (a project that's published as a spring artifact)
* internal modules, such as the BOM, our coroutines support and our
integration-tests
With this change, we're strealining the project configuration for all
spring modules and only applying plugins when needed (typically our
kotlin support).
See gh-23282
This commit moves the dependency management and test source files
related to integration tests to a dedicated module.
This allows us to focus the root project on building the Spring
Framework.
