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.
