Previously, the documentation included hand-written tables for the
application, production, and technical starters.
This commit replaces the hand-written tables with tables that are
generated automatically from all of the starter poms, thereby ensuring
that the documentation is automatically kept up-to-date as starters
are added and removed. An extra column provided a link to each
starter's pom on GitHub has also been added to the table. This makes
it easier for users to see exactly what each starter contains.
Closes gh-5267
This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
Closes gh-2133
Update all starter POMs to remove commons-logging dependencies that are
not longer required when using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin.

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.
