LatestVersionMatcher.needModuleDescriptor() does not honor custom statuses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IVY-1170
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1170
             Project: Ivy
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0
            Reporter: Carl Quinn


While tracking down some unexpected behavior in our Ivy-based build system, I 
ran across what looks like a bug in 
LatestVersionMatcher.needModuleDescriptor(). In that method, it has a 
hard-coded check for "latest.integration" to determine when to not require a 
module descriptor and just grab the newest thing.

    public boolean needModuleDescriptor(ModuleRevisionId askedMrid, 
ModuleRevisionId foundMrid) { 
        return !"latest.integration".equals(askedMrid.getRevision()); 
    } 

In our case, we have redefined our status to be the maven-like names: 

    <statuses default="snapshot"> 
        <status name="release" integration="false"/> 
        <status name="snapshot" integration="true"/> 
    </statuses> 

Where in our case "snapshot" replaces "integration". And this 
LatestVersionMatcher then fails to allow "latest.snapshot" to grab artifacts 
w/o module descriptors. (all those old jars that I haven't Ivy-fied yet :) 

I will work on developing a patch.
