Review Comment:
   @gnodet What I like is you are picking up the idea of 
https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/main/conf/catalina.properties#L33.
   
   Honestly, I cannot decipher it: 
`${cli:it:-${cli:gt:-${maven.install.conf}/toolchains.xml}}` Takes too much 
brain muscles from first glance.
   
   I wonder why those XML files cannot be optional by default and Maven would 
simply iterate over
   ```
   ?${maven.install.extensions} \
                      ?${maven.project.extensions} \
                      ?${maven.user.extensions}
   ```
   At the end we define the semantics how a property is interpreted. Git or 
Subversion do search for a user and global config and it is not a failure if 
both isn't there. Same here. We could log the absence at debug level.
