Description

### Current Behavior

In a continuous delivery scenario every commit to a software project creates a new version (and therefore project) in Dependency-Track. Over time there will be hundreds of "active" versions, even though they are actually not "active".

### Proposed Behavior

The `POST /v1/bom` resource has another flag in addition to the already existing `isLatest` parameter: `isActiveExclusively`.

When both arguments are `true` all "old" versions are deactivated and do not clutter the UI anymore.
