Version Update Configuration Rules.

[nsidhaye]

Generally Maven Project use version plugin to update dependencies. Maven Version gives you way to automate update dependencies.

Most of times we need only stable dependencies. In this PR I am adding maven-version-rules.xml so we can configure which version we need to omit from automatic update.

Ref:
Any Maven Project can use following commands:
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates : Shows newer version of dependencies
mvn versions:use-latest-releases : Update dependencies to latest version
mvn versions:update-properties : Update dependencies by updating properties

Hello @nsidhaye Thank you very much for your contribution. I really like the idea of this PR.

A few questions before we merge:

1. let's delete <!-- try with false --> in pom file?
2. let's also add pom.xml.versionBackup to .gitignore file?

Maybe we can also add the following comments that you have mentioned to the pom file:

mvn versions:display-dependency-updates : Shows newer version of dependencies
mvn versions:use-latest-releases : Update dependencies to latest version
mvn versions:update-properties : Update dependencies by updating properties
