Title: Allow exclusions of transitive dependencies, resolves #1727

For dependencies that *belong* in the core project, but cause problems with some of the sub modules, we can use exclusion rules so that the sub modules ignore these dependencies.

Generating a project with gdx-tools will add exclusion rules to sub modules that are incompatible, see generated build script below:

```groovy
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
mavenLocal()
maven { url 'https://github.com/steffenschaefer/gwt-gradle-plugin/raw/maven-repo/' }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'de.richsource.gradle.plugins:gwt-gradle-plugin:0.3'
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9+'
classpath 'com.github.jtakakura:gradle-robovm-plugin:0.0.7'
}
}
