Description

Following the discussion from https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/issues/3444, we should add the provided -fixupmessages instruction to our bundle parent pom, in order to make sure that APIs that we export cannot reference private references in their public method signatures.

This is more of a precaution, rather than a fix for a Sling issue.

Projects using the bundle parent pom can override the bnd instruction locally, if needed.
