Bill of material

[michaldo]

I propose to release Bill of Material, together with other artifacts.

I use springdoc, which depends on 3 artifacts:

io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-core-jakarta
io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-annotations-jakarta
io.swagger.core.v3:swagger-models-jakarta

Unfortunately, third party poor designed libraries bring own versions of swagger artifacts and cause compatibility problems.
If swagger-core provide BOM, like https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protobuf-bom/4.29.3/protobuf-bom-4.29.3.pom,
springdoc can release own BOM.
Then I can use springdoc BOM in my application and make sure my application always use compatible springdoc and swagger-core.

Having a bom for the swagger artifacts that are compatible with each other would be awesome. We are also facing the problem that thrid party libs contain swagger artifact dependency versions that are not compatible with springdoc. And polluting our poms with maven exclude statements is not a very neat solution. So a BOM would be perfect.

It's also very easy to setup. I could help setting it up if required :)
