    Don't override `apache-rat-plugin` version
    
    Remove the version override for `apache-rat-plugin` so it falls back to the 
version provided by the ASF Parent POM.
    
    Apache RAT `0.18`, for which Dependabot opened an update PR, contains a bug 
([RAT-552](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-552)) that effectively 
disables the `excludeSubProjects` plugin option whenever `<excludes>` is 
present in the configuration.
    
    Upgrading to `0.18` will require converting our `<excludes>` to 
`<inputExcludes>`, which depends on a new `logging-parent` release.
