Subject: [PATCH] fix(build): prioritize Maven central repository

This should greatly reduce the number of 404s seen on clasweb logs. We
now have the following numbers of 404 responses, before and after this
change:

```
For https://clasweb.jlab.org/.clas12maven:
- before change: 166
- after change:  28
For https://clasweb.jlab.org/.jhep/maven:
- before change: 165
- after change:  11
```

I confirmed that the 28 remaining 404s from clas12maven and the 11 from
jhep/maven are coming from cases where Maven searches clas12maven first,
then finds the dependency on jhep/maven, or vice versa. We may need a
repository management solution (Nexus, Artifactory) to stop those.
