Description

Integrate better and obtain better control over Resolver. These changes did stem from "JPMS module experiment" and are considered improvement but does not implement any functionality related to JPMS module support.

Changes:

• Maven4 should stop "disconnected coexistence" of two type systems (ArtifactHandlers and Resolver ArtifactTypeRegistry), it should unify them.
• Maven4 Core should provide generic and extensible means to introduce new artifact types (fully in extension, and extension should get extended data via "roundtrip" in core/resolver)
