Issue:
NullPointerException when running compare-dependencies goal
Hi

This is the command I ran:
```
mvn -X versions:compare-dependencies  -DreportOutputFile=depDiffs.txt -DremotePom=group:artifact:version
```

Got this stacktrace:
```

```

I don't have a working example, since this is a company product. But I might be able to get more information, with some help.
What can I get?

Pull request:
Resolves #1197: Handling a no-version case in dependencyManagement for CompareDependenciesMojo
A dependency management entry can contain no version at all, in which case CompareDependenciesMojo will raise an NPE.

@slawekjaranowski please review
