DisplayPluginUpdates: default minimum maven version should not be assumed to be the same as the one for versions-maven-plugin #995

DisplayPluginUpdates will use the minimum version of Maven required to execute versions-maven-plugin to also be the minimum Maven version for the project that is being analysed. However, I see no reason why this should be the case. That would only be the case if the versions plugin is used in the POM, but obviously doesn't have to be the case.
In other words: we cannot make assumptions about the version required to execute the project based on the version that is currently being used to run versions-maven-plugin. Those can be different.
I think the assumption should be dropped.
