XP 4 dependency management doesn't exclude all transitive dependencies of io.vertx:vertx-core as a workaround for some kind of maven dependency convergence problem mentioned in a comment. AIUI the intent is to exclude them all, but using global excludes doesn't work so the transitives are excluded individually.

But, the list of what it does exclude has fallen out of data vs what vertx-core depends on, particularly in the io.netty area. So the task here is to update the list for the io.netty deps.

My intent is to try to exclude all io.netty instead of listing the 12 individual artifacts.
