Previously, the Maven plugin integration tests used a settings.xml file
that defined https://repo.spring.io/snapshot as a repository. This
allowed them to resolve snapshots of the plugin's Spring Framework
dependencies but it had the unfortunate side-effect of also allowing
them to resolve snapshots of other Spring Boot modules from Artifactory
rather than using those currently being built.
This commit replaces the repositories in settings.xml with a Gradle
task that resolves the necessary dependencies and populates a local
repository with the dependencies' jars and pom files. This is achieved
using a ComponentMetadataRule that creates a custom variant of each
dependency that includes its pom file, inspired by the example in
gradle/gradle/#11449. A configuration that extends the
runtimeClasspath configuration and select the custom variant via its
attribute is then used to resolve the jars and pom files of the runtime
classpath such that they can then be used to populate the local
repository.

Prior to this commit, the HTTP/2 server auto-configuration for Jetty
would require Conscrypt as a hard dependency.
This commit updates the auto-configuration for more flexibility and now
allows the following deployments:
* JDK9+ with the JDK ALPN implementation
* JDK8u252+ with the backported ALPN implementation
* Conscrypt with no JDK requirement
The auto-configuration now improves detection and guides developers in
case there is a missing `jetty-alpn-*-server` dependency.
The reference docs in the HOWTO section has been updated accordingly.
