[MNG-1378] Make dependencies of test-jars transitive

Description

test-jar transitive dependencies are calculated as per compile scope rather than test scope.

The situation is demonstrated nicely in it0077:

• module sub1 has a test-scoped dependency of commons-lang
• module sub2 has a test-scoped dependency of sub1 test-jar

sub2 tests should inherit the commons-lang transitive dependency. For example:
