Description: *This issue was cloned from MAGNOLIA-3545 - work has already been done with bundles and webapps*.

*See patch attached to MAGNOLIA-3545 which gives an indication of what to do.*

*When applying, check and compare before/after {{dependency:tree}} outputs of webapps and bundles, as well as contents of webapps.*

To facilitate project builds, our webapps ({{magnolia-empty-webapp}}, {{magnolia-bundled-webapp}}, {{magnolia-enterprise-webapp}}) should have their dependencies (Magnolia jars) in a {{dependencyManagement}} section. Instead of "just" depending on the {{magnolia-empty-webapp}}'s pom, they should do so with the {{import}} scope.

As a consequence, a webapp project would be able to do the following:
{code}
    <dependency>
      <groupId>info.magnolia</groupId>
      <artifactId>magnolia-bundled-webapp</artifactId>
      <version>4.3.8</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>info.magnolia</groupId>
      <artifactId>magnolia-module-dms</artifactId>
    </dependency>
{code}
This essentially "injects" the {{dependencyManagement}} section of {{magnolia-bundled-webapp:4.3.8}} into the current project, so the project can now depend on {{magnolia-module-dms}} (for example) *without specifying its version*. This frees project developer from having to dig out exactly which version of each and every module they need was bundled with the Magnolia bundle they want to use. (which is a pita) And of course, they can still specify a specific version it they need to.
