Don't override apache-rat-plugin version#4123

Remove the version override for `apache-rat-plugin` so it falls back to the version provided by the ASF Parent POM. Apache RAT `0.18`, for which Dependabot opened an update PR, contains a bug ([RAT-552](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-552)) that effectively disables the `excludeSubProjects` plugin option whenever `<excludes>` is present in the configuration. Upgrading to `0.18` will require converting our `<excludes>` to `<inputExcludes>`, which depends on a new `logging-parent` release.
