[MNG-8338] Refactor subprojects to make old ones optional

[jira-importer]

Guillaume Nodet opened MNG-8338 and commented

Ultimately, the following subprojects that should be deprecated and not be "core" dependencies anymore:

• maven-artifact
• maven-builder-support
• maven-compat
• maven-embedder
• maven-model
• maven-model-builder
• maven-plugin-api
• maven-repository-metadata
• maven-resolver-provider
• maven-resolver-provider
• maven-settings
• maven-settings-builder
• maven-toolchain-builder
• maven-toolchain-model

Subprojects to clean from above dependencies:

• maven-api-impl
• maven-core
• maven-cli

We should keep maven-api-impl as a way to access the resolver through the API, mostly useful when dealing with dependencies.  Maven-core should be kept for loading and building projects, everything related to plugins, etc...

I think it may be a good time to rename a few more subprojects, to be more coherent. Maybe rename maven-xml-impl to maven-xml and maven-api-impl to maven-impl ... ?
