[MDEP-446] make <destFileName> available on command line for dependency:copy

**[Thomas Wabner](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=waffel)** opened **[MDEP-446](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-446?redirect=false)** and commented

It would be nice to be able to specify the destFileName as parameter on commandline, to copy a dependency.

This is currently only supported in the pom.xml configuration section for the dependency plugin like:

```xml

${project.groupId}
${project.artifactId}
${project.version}
${project.packaging}
${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}
true


```

We want to have a option on command line, to specify the destFileName with a parameter.

For example:

mvn dependency:copy -Dartifact=groupid:artifactId:version:war -Dmdep.stripVersion=true -DoutputDirectory=/temp/ -Dartifact.destFileName=result.war

Start at the dependency:copy command-line parameter handling and compare it with the artifactItems configuration shown in the issue. Trace how artifact.destFileName, stripVersion, and outputDirectory are interpreted. Done means the command example can select result.war as the copied filename while retaining the existing POM configuration behavior.
