Add a new maven project containing a versions.properties file and
an effective POM. Rework existing projects to use the versions
artifacts.

This commit harmonizes the dependency management of internal modules
so that versions can be omitted everywhere. Update the maven coordinates
to provide the full groupId for consistency
Commit e26e06d5dd broke the full build as the generated zip file for
the size is not generated. Actually, the site plugin has a jar goal that
is exactly meant for what we need to do.
This commit removes the use of the assembly plugin and invokes the
jar goal of the site plugin when the full profile is enabled.
Relates to #749
This commit adds the generated site for the maven plugin alongside
the developer guide and javadoc. The maven plugin is available in
the "/maven-plugin" context.
The advanced information described in the developer guide have
been migrated to the plugin site as most the information is taken
from the code itself, which avoids duplication.
Fixes#749
This leverages existing capabilities of teh JDK and the OS
to grab a port at random and not have it stolen by another
process. It's very hard to avoid that race condition in
pure Java code, so why bother?
User can set port<0 to disable autoStart of connectors (e.g.
to start a web application context but not have it listen on
any port). In that case the actual socket port will be set to
0 (and therefore if it ever starts up the local port will
be random).
