Allow excluding certain versions of artifacts

Allow_certain_artifact_versions_to_be_excluded_from_consideration.patch
As some popular projects have released versions with invalid version numbers
such as asm (version number 20041228.180559), it would be useful to be able to
ignore certain versions when checking for updates. This functionality could
also be used to exclude a version which has a known vulnerability.
This patch doesn't include any unit tests for the new functionality as it's
only a quick go. I've tested it locally and it correctly ignored the various
commons-configuration and asm invalid versions. To add a unit test, it would be
easier to use something such as Mockito but that is Java 5+ only. Are there any
plans to upgrade to Java 5? Or are there any Java 1.4 mocking frameworks?
