Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.

GemFire 8.0 depends on two different versions of xml-apis:xml-apis and
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler:ecj. This commit adds dependency
management for those two dependencies to address the dependency
convergence errors reported by Maven’s enforcer plugin.
GemFire 8.0 also depends on commons-logging and Spring Boot starters
should use jcl-over-slf4j instead. This commit adds an exclusion for
commons-logging
GemFire 8.0 depends (optionally) on spring-data-gemfire and
spring-data-gemfire depends on GemFire, i.e. there’s a dependency cycle
between the two projects. This commit breaks this cycle by adding an
exclusion for spring-data-gemfire to the dependency management for
com.gemstone.gemfire:gemfire.
This commit should be reverted once the problems with GemFire’s
dependencies have been addressed. See gh-2884.
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
Closes gh-2133
