Description

currently, when a reporting mojo is not used as maven-site-plugin's report but as direct mojo invocation, maven-site-renderer default skin is always used: would be more consistent if using site decoration consistently with maven-site-plugin
Or more precisely, I didn't currently find any reporting plugin that did the effort to mimic maven-site-plugin's decoration model/skin: every reporting plugin I know of uses features of maven-reporting-impl for site rendring (with this known limitation)

implementing the feature in maven-reporting-impl will make it accessible to any reporting plugin once it upgrades it dependency version

once done, we can activate skin resources copy, that was commented while working on MSHARED-120 (and would not give expected result if skin used is not consistent)
