Description

Currently the dependencies of the Sling Servlet Annotations all have scope compiled. We should switch to provided to prevent that those dependencies are inherited by referencing projects as those dependencies are not necessary at runtime anyways.
This keeps the classpath of referencing projects much cleaner and also prevent that projects need to explicitly downgrade the DS dependency.
