Title: Support for parsing versions from maven pom.properties files

I implemented this in my own project, and then thought it would be more useful in jackson-core. Maven puts version info by default in META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/pom.properties, so it makes sense that jackson-core should provide a convenience method for loading Version objects from it that jackson modules can use. The method also accepts a classloader, which should ensure it works in OSGi environments.
