Use property for version management in BOM pom.xml

[Copilot]

The version 4.19.0.5-SNAPSHOT was hardcoded in 10 locations throughout bom/pom.xml, making version updates error-prone and difficult to maintain.

Changes

• Introduced java.driver.version property to centralize version definition
• Replaced hardcoded versions in 9 dependency declarations with ${java.driver.version}
• Fixed trademark formatting: Cassandra(R) → Cassandra (R)
• Configured flatten-maven-plugin to expand properties in dependencyManagement section

<properties>
  <java.driver.version>4.19.0.5-SNAPSHOT</java.driver.version>
</properties>
<parent>
  <groupId>com.scylladb</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-driver-parent</artifactId>
  <version>4.19.0.5-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

Note: The <parent><version> must remain hardcoded because Maven requires the parent POM to be resolved before child properties are available. The property is used in all 9 dependency declarations, and the flatten-maven-plugin is configured to expand these properties in the published BOM artifact.
