Update all starter POMs to remove commons-logging dependencies that are
not longer required when using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin.
Mainly reverts code from 196f92bd42
See gh-1047
Due to the lack of dependency management in Gradle a number of the
starters were pulling in old versions of spring-tx (and in some cases
spring-context-support as well) as the only dependency was a
transitive one that pulled in an older version.
This commit adds explicit dependencies on spring-context-support and
spring-tx where appropriate. These dependencies will specify Boot's
preferred version of Spring causing Gradle to do the right thing as it
prefers the latest version of a dependency when there is more than one
to choose from.
Fixes#1028
Gradle hasn’t different exclusion semantics to Maven. In Maven you can
exclude spring-core’s commons-logging dependency once and it’ll be
honoured even if you have multiple transitive routes to commons-logging
via spring-core. In Gradle you have to exclude commons-logging from
everything that has a transitive spring-core dependency. To make matters
worse this doesn’t only apply to dependencies and exclusions declared in
build.gradle but also to dependencies and exclusions declared in the pom
files of the artifacts that a Gradle build depends upon.
In short, to make our starters work as intended with Gradle, this commit
adds many, many exclusions for commons-logging. It also removes
commons-logging exclusions from spring-boot-dependencies’
<dependencyManagement> as they have no effect with Gradle and their
presence can cause us to miss required exclusions in a starter
