Discrepancies between list of dependencies found by AboutLibrary and the dependencies task

About this issue

Briefly describe the issue

I've noticed that some libraries, that are reported by gradle when running ./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration debugRuntimeClasspath are missing from the report

How can the issue be reproduced / sample code

I'm joining a minimal sample project to reproduce:
MissingLib.zip
It's an app that does nothing but display the list of dependencies using AboutLibraries.

1. Within the sample project, run ./gradlew app:dependencies --configuration debugRuntimeClasspath
2. Notice that there are 3 androidx.annotation:annotation libraries:
   • androidx.annotation:annotation
   • androidx.annotation:annotation-jvm
   • androidx.annotation:annotation-experimental
3. Run ./gradlew app:findLibraries
4. Notice that there are only 2 of the androidx.annotation:annotation libraries:
   • androidx.annotation:annotation-jvm
   • androidx.annotation:annotation-experimental

Potential fix

I experimented with the plugin, and what should fix it is to modify this line: https://github.com/mikepenz/AboutLibraries/blob/develop/plugin-build/plugin/src/main/kotlin/com/mikepenz/aboutlibraries/plugin/util/DependencyCollector.kt#L129

From:

  else -> {
    if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled) LOGGER.debug("retrieve allModuleArtifacts from artifact")
    resolvedDependency.allModuleArtifacts
}

to

  else -> {
    if (LOGGER.isDebugEnabled) LOGGER.debug("retrieve allModuleArtifacts from artifact")
    resolvedDependency.allModuleArtifacts + resolvedDependency.toResolvedBomArtifact()
}

It doesn't seem to have any negative side effect to do so, but maybe I'm missing something?

Let me know if I can/should open a merge request.
