Consider using Scala's patch version to determine the artifactId of the scalac-scoverage-plugin

[stewartHutchins]

Hi,

We are currently trying to use the check goal with the scoverage-maven-plugin version: 1.4.1 and Scala version 2.12.13

When configuring scalacPluginVersions with value: 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 we get the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scala.tools.nsc.Global.reporter()Lscala/tools/nsc/report

When using scalacPluginVersions: 1.4.3 or greater we get an error similar to the following:
Could not find artifact org.scoverage:scalac-scoverage-plugin-2.12:jar:1.4.7 in <internal-repository>); this is during the pre-compile stage

Based on this sbt-scoverage issue we gather that the Scala 2.12.13 compiler not backwards compatible (resulting in the 1st error). I'm assuming this is why the scala-scoverage-plugin has begun to include Scala's patch version as part of it's artifactId.
Additionally, based on SCoveragePreCompileMojo we gather that the plugin ignores Scala's patch version when determining which version of the scalac-scoverage-plugin to use (resulting in the 2nd error).

If the above seems correct and reasonable, would you consider updating the maven plugin so that we are able to use a newer version of the scalac-scoverage-plugin - allowing us to use SCoverage with Scala 2.12.13?

Please let me know if the provided information is not sufficient.

Thanks,
Stewart
