    KAR Mojo: fix metadata generation of artifacts

    Problem description:
    * use the kmp to generate a kar that contains snapshot version
    * use the kmp to generate a custom distribution that fills the local
      repository of the distribution with the content of that kar
    * try to install the snapshot artifact (not using any other repository
      then the system directory
    * if your snapshots has been timestamped and a maven metadata XML does
      not exist on KAR creation the installation of the artifact will fail
    
    The KAR Mojo contains a workaround to use the base version of a snapshot
    instead of a timestamped one because it does not work in
    startup.properties.
    The metadata that is used for a snapshot artifact is generated (if not
    present) using the timestamped version. Also if there exists already a
    metadata, we can not use them without further checking for the
    version...
    Let's move the version fix in front of the metadata generation and
    generate the metadata for every snapshot.
