  • Add Maven package dependencies to ignore list
  • Focus on Maven plugin upgrades

@wborn #4775 did not work as intended. I tried to push forward the idea of ignoring all package dependencies.
My first try resulted in something close to what I want here for the first step: just properly upgrading the maven plugins.
See the output of an early run on my repo (which got some tuning afterwards, a few packages deps were still there):

The ignore list is probably too long, as I included transitive dependencies when I used dependency:tree to generate the list.
