[MRELEASE-949] maven-release-plugin doesn't prevent a release using a SNAPSHOT bom

You can't release with a SNAPSHOT dependency, however you can release with a SNAPSHOT bom included. It appears that the SNAPSHOT checks are performed after the bom is included, however when you use the pom after the release, you need the bom to be a version released.

The issue names the Maven Release Plugin and affects version 2.5.3, but provides no source file or test entry point. First reproduce a release that includes a SNAPSHOT BOM and compare it with the existing SNAPSHOT dependency checks. Done means the plugin prevents that release and verifies the behavior with a regression test.
