Subject: [PATCH] Depend on maven-api-xml at compile and maven-xml at runtime

Main sources import three Maven types and all live in maven-api-xml:
XmlNode and XmlService. maven-xml is needed only at runtime, where
XmlService loads its implementation through ServiceLoader and
Xpp3Dom.mergeXpp3Dom reaches it.

Consumers keep maven-api-xml transitively at compile, which is what
Xpp3Dom.getDom() and the XmlNode constructors need. What they lose is
org.apache.maven.internal.* and maven-xml's own compile transitives,
woodstox-core and stax2-api.

The sisu-plexus exclusion goes with it: maven-xml declares that
dependency at provided scope, which never propagates.
