Merge com.azure.resourcemanager into com:azure to make it included in com.azure:azure-sdk-bom

[juergenbr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Problem:
The fractured Azure SDK causes an increasing amount of issues due to mismatching versions across different sub-SDKs.
A central BOM covering all parts of the SDK would help simplify the dependency management.

Describe the solution you'd like
One BOM covering all parts of the Azure SDK and having everything in the com.azure group, similar as with AWS SDK software.amazon.awssdk:bom
Example:
BOM: com.azure:azure-sdk-bom
Core SDK: com.azure:azure-core
Resource Manager SDK: com.azure:resourcemanager

Describe alternatives you've considered
Include group com.azure.resourcemanager in BOM

Additional context
Gradle sample of current situation:

implementation("com.azure:azure-identity")
implementation("com.azure:azure-core")
implementation("com.azure:azure-core-management")
implementation("com.azure.resourcemanager:azure-resourcemanager")
implementation("com.azure.resourcemanager:azure-resourcemanager-containerservice")

Output of gradle task dependencies

+--- com.azure.resourcemanager:azure-resourcemanager FAILED
+--- com.azure.resourcemanager:azure-resourcemanager-containerservice FAILED

One thing that might not be compatible with scheduled BOM release, is that management-plane SDK release data could sometimes being for flexible.
E.g. in May we got request from Spring Cloud to wait for one of their GA api-version, which in worst case will delay management-plane release to 3rd or 4th week of May (ARM onboard process takes about a week).
I am not sure whether this kind of difference in release data works well with BOM release.

Hey Team, is there any update here? Any timeline when this could be available?

@srnagar What is your opinion?

If you think it be beneficial to put azure-resourcemanager to BOM, we can adjust the release date of mgmt lib, to align with data-plane libs (and do monthly release before BOM release).
