chore(deps): upgrade Java Maven dependencies across all services

Bump manifest-declared dependency versions (not just lockfiles) in all
four Java service poms (ApprovalsService, ContractsService,
PublicationManagerService, SearchService) and the shared Common module.

AWS SDK v2 (aws.java.sdk.version / netty-nio-client.version property,
plus the direct dynamodb-enhanced dependency in unicorn_web/Common):
2.46.21 -> 2.54.0.

Jackson core/databind: 2.22.0 -> 2.22.2 (jackson-annotations left at
2.22 - the 3.0-rc5 update offered by the versions plugin is a
prerelease).

JUnit Jupiter: 5.12.2 -> 5.14.4 (latest stable 5.x; JUnit 6.1.3 was
evaluated and rejected - Platform/Jupiter/Vintage must move together
per JUnit's own upgrade guidance, and the bundled Mockito/Surefire
versions are not yet certified against it).

Upgrading Jupiter to 5.14.4 exposed a latent version-skew bug: Surefire
3.5.5 bundles junit-platform-launcher 1.12.2, while Jupiter 5.14.4
pulls junit-platform-engine/commons 1.14.4 transitively. The mismatch
surfaces as 'TestEngine with ID junit-jupiter failed to discover
tests' / 'OutputDirectoryCreator not available' during test discovery,
not as a dependency resolution error, since junit-platform-launcher
isn't a declared project dependency - Surefire supplies it internally.
Fixed by adding an explicit test-scope junit-platform-launcher
dependency pinned to 1.14.4 (new junit-platform.version property) in
all four service poms so it matches the engine/commons version.

surefire-junit-platform provider left at 3.5.5 (3.6.0-M1 is a
prerelease). All other tracked properties (aws.java.powertool.version,
aws-lambda-java-events.version, aws-lambda-java-tests.version,
aws-lambda-java-core.version, mockito-core/junit-jupiter.version)
confirmed already at latest stable via
versions-maven-plugin:display-dependency-updates -DallowMajorUpdates=false.

Verified: mvn test passes 34/34 across all four services (Contracts 6,
Approvals 10, PublicationManager 9, Search 6), sam validate --lint
clean on all three service templates, sam build succeeds.
