Support custom scalaTag (e.g _2.11, _2.12, _2.13) instead of _?

Hey I might have a hacky solution for a complex problem this plugin doesn't compose well with the play plugin.

So we have a project like

root
-- app (play plugin)
-- api (needs crossbuilding) 

But because i need to tag the dependencies as _? then the app sub project tells me hey i cannot resolve this dependency with _?. Because your plugin doesn't apply to the old play plugin.

So i simple solution would be to set the archive.appendixPattern to _2.11 and be done with it. But then the plugin complains that it cannot resolve the _2.11 for a 2.12 build.

So currently i resolved it by doing:

compile "com.company:commons-lib_2.11:${commonGrpcVersion}"
crossBuildV211CompileOnly "com.company:commons-lib_2.11:${commonGrpcVersion}"
 crossBuildV212CompileOnly "com.company:commons-lib_2.12:${commonGrpcVersion}"

But if this 'feature' was supported the i could just change a project to a cross compiled lib by just applying the plugin and no need to switch dependencies to the dependency with _? notation.

I tried play-framework but that disabled the tests for some weird reason (and it is out of the scope of this ticket)

:api
[{
    "name": "V211",
    "scalaVersion": "2.11",
    "archive": {
        "appendixPattern": "_2.11",
        "appendix": "_2.11"
    },
    "scalaVersionInsights": {
        "baseVersion": "2.11",
        "compilerVersion": "2.11.12",
        "artifactInlinedVersion": "2.11",
        "strippedArtifactInlinedVersion": "211",
        "underscoredBaseVersion": "2_11",
        "underscoredCompilerVersion": "2_11_12",
        "underscoredArtifactInlinedVersion": "2_11"
    }
},
{
    "name": "V212",
    "scalaVersion": "2.12",
    "archive": {
        "appendixPattern": "_2.11",
        "appendix": "_2.11"
    },
    "scalaVersionInsights": {
        "baseVersion": "2.12",
        "compilerVersion": "2.12.11",
        "artifactInlinedVersion": "2.12",
        "strippedArtifactInlinedVersion": "212",
        "underscoredBaseVersion": "2_12",
        "underscoredCompilerVersion": "2_12_11",
        "underscoredArtifactInlinedVersion": "2_12"
    }
}]

aha if i put appendixPattern to _2.11 then it changes the pattern for 2.12 also to _2.11.
