Added ability to provide arbitrary dependencies to properties mojo

[treilhes]

This PR allows providing arbitrary dependencies to project properties through the plugin’s declared dependencies.
My main use case for this feature is the ability to patch a Java module with a dependency that is outside of the project’s dependency tree (mainly to solve duplicate package name).

See sample below

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>resolve-jar-path</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>properties</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.somegroup</groupId>
                        <artifactId>someartifact</artifactId>
                        <version>someversion</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>
            </plugin>

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <compilerArgs>
                        <arg>--patch-module</arg>
                        <arg>module.to.patch=${com.somegroup:someartifact:jar}</arg>
                    </compilerArgs>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

It seems related to #1560, maybe a replacement?

@desruisseaux
It is the same content you can safely forget about #1560

I think that adding artifacts to plugin dependencies is not good idea ...
it will be added to plugin classpath - that is not needed.

I would prefer add a new parameters for additional artifact, next artifact can be resolved and file path can be added to properties
