feat(ext-jackson): one module per data format, bodies checked on the way in

flash-ext-jackson and flash-ext-validation become three modules:

- flash-ext-jackson-core: the Codec (one mapper, body/write/writeView),
  JacksonHandler, the outbound marshalling, and the constraint engine that
  used to be flash-ext-validation
- flash-ext-jackson-json: Json, JsonExtension, JsonHandler
- flash-ext-jackson-xml: Xml, XmlExtension, XmlHandler

Every Jackson format is the same databind model behind a different factory, so
the annotations, the constraints and the published schema are the same for all
of them: only the mapper and the content type differ, and that is all a format
module says. A route picks its format by the handler it extends — there is no
negotiation and nothing to configure.

A typed body is now always verified against its own type's jakarta
constraints, whatever the format: malformed is a 400, a broken constraint is a
422, and neither reaches the handler. The validator was already allocation-free
and stays so; validating is no longer something an application remembers to do.

bodyFrom is gone. body has the streaming semantics, because the request's
stream is reused per connection while bytes() allocates the whole body: one
name, the path that does not allocate. JacksonExtension is JsonExtension, and
autoJson() is auto().

The root POM now manages every module of this build, so anything composing
Flash imports it once and never names a version again.

# flash-ext-jackson-xml
XML bodies and XML responses, over the same types as every other Jackson format.
```java
XmlExtension xml = new XmlExtension();
app.install(xml).use(xml.auto());
```
```java
@POST("/orders")
public final class PlaceOrder extends XmlHandler<Order> {
@Inject private OrderService orders;
@Override protected Object handle(Request req, Response res, Order body) {
return orders.place(body);
}
}
```
Everything [`flash-ext-jackson-json`](../flash-ext-jackson-json) does, in XML: the body is read off
the request stream, verified against the constraints its type declares, and handed over. A type
annotated for JSON works here as is — `Order` can be a JSON body on one route and an XML body on
another.
What is specific to XML is Jackson's own: `@JacksonXmlRootElement` for the root name,
`@JacksonXmlProperty(isAttribute = true)` for an attribute rather than an element, and
`@JacksonXmlElementWrapper` for how a list is wrapped. This module adds no annotations of its own.
Brings `jackson-dataformat-xml`, and with it Woodstox.
