Remove slf4j-jdk14 as transitive dependency from library modules

[Copilot]

The slf4j-jdk14 binding was declared in the parent POM at compile scope, forcing all consumers to explicitly exclude it when using alternative logging frameworks (Logback, Log4j2, etc.).

Changes

• schemacrawler-parent/pom.xml: Removed slf4j-jdk14 dependency
• schemacrawler-commandline/pom.xml: Added slf4j-jdk14 with runtime scope
• schemacrawler-distrib/pom.xml: Added slf4j-jdk14 with runtime scope

Impact

Library consumers no longer receive slf4j-jdk14 as a transitive dependency. The binding is only included in executable modules at runtime where it's needed.

Before:

<dependency>
    <groupId>us.fatehi</groupId>
    <artifactId>schemacrawler</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

After:

<dependency>
    <groupId>us.fatehi</groupId>
    <artifactId>schemacrawler</artifactId>
</dependency>

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

<issue_title>Remove slf4j-jdk14 from all modules as transitive dependency</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Description

Hi @sualeh,

To avoid multiple logging bindings, slf4j-jdk14 shouldn't be included in all dependencies.

Currently, every module import requires an explicit exclusion for slf4j-jdk14. For example, in assertj-schemacrawler I exclude it or in tests with Spring Boot (where Logback is the default) and in custom libraries that are included in applications using other logging systems.

I recommend moving the dependency from the parent module to the product module and resolve the dependency from each module to the product. The dependency from the module to the product are somewhat unexpected, since the product already contains near all classes as shaded.

Greetings,
Ben
