calendar-major should fail when the pom version is already '<today>.0.0' instead of silently succeeding

Discussed in #6

^{Originally posted by q3769 October 11, 2022}
If you have to release more than once on the same day today, you'd want the subsequent calendar major update to fail after the first of the day. The failure will force you to advance the semver. Silent success on multiple updates resulting in the same version appears to be a bad idea.

Plugin does not work with multi-modules projects

Steps to reproduce:

• create a maven project with two modules (submodule1 and submodule2) with versions set to 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
• obviously each sub-module must reference the parent
• submodules can use each other as a dependency using <version>${project.version}</version>
• run: mvn io.github.q3769:semver-maven-plugin:20220509.0.1:increment-minor -Dsnapshot=true -DprocessModule=true
• error: Failed to execute goal io.github.q3769:semver-maven-plugin:20220509.0.1:increment-minor (default-cli) on project submodule1: Project version is inherited from parent.

Although the poms are updated properly, the plugin still fails.

However, passing -N option to the maven build seems to fix the problem.

enable differentiation / more granular control of managing versions of parent & submodules

While bumping my parent project for a next iteration it also bumps the version for all submodules, while I only want to modify a single one. It would be convenient if it would be able to either only bump the parent or a set of sub-modules by inclusion/exclusion.

The plugin is wrongfully updating all submodules with the same change while I only desire the parent version to be set to, I think it is not correct to assume that parent & sub module versions always simultaneously change.

Another good addition would be to support the ci/cd friendly properties, like $revision
