Support using maven BOMs to specify library versions #286

It would be great if p2-maven-plugin could support using maven BOMs to specify library versions.

Large projects often provide a BOM to indicate the set of jar version that work together and often recommend to use it (e.g. GCP SDK https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/bom).

Today when using p2-maven-plugin we need to define the versions for individual dependencies manually which can be tedious and error prone. Supporting BOM would make this less painful.

Thank you for your feature request. Currently, I have no enough time to implement this feature, but I would take time for code reviewing or answer questions. Therefore, I'm glad to see a PR.
