    Fix #11009: Prevent StackOverflowError in parent POM resolution (#11234)
    
    This commit backports the fix from PR #11106 to the maven-4.0.x branch.
    
    The fix addresses issue #11009 where Maven would encounter a 
StackOverflowError
    when resolving parent POMs that form a cycle.
    
    ## Problem
    
    When Maven encounters a cyclic dependency in parent POM resolution (e.g., A 
-> B
    -> A), it would enter an infinite recursion loop, eventually causing a 
StackOverflowError.
    This made Maven crash ungracefully without providing useful feedback to the 
user.
    
    ## Solution
    
    The fix implements cycle detection in the DefaultModelBuilder by:
    
    1. **Tracking visited parents**: Maintains a set of visited parent 
coordinates during
       resolution
    
    2. **Cycle detection**: When a parent that has already been visited is 
encountered
       again, it indicates a cycle
    
    3. **Graceful error handling**: Throws a ModelBuildingException with a 
clear error
       message instead of crashing
    
    ## Changes Made
    
    - **Modified DefaultModelBuilder**: Added cycle detection logic in parent 
POM
      resolution methods
    
    - **Added integration test**: Comprehensive test case that verifies the fix 
works
      correctly
    
    - **Test resources**: Created test POMs with cyclic parent dependencies
    
    ## Testing
    
    The fix includes a comprehensive integration test 
(MavenITmng11009StackOverflowParentResolutionTest)
    that:
    
    - Creates a scenario with cyclic parent dependencies (A -> B -> A)
    - Verifies that StackOverflowError no longer occurs
    - Confirms that an appropriate cycle detection error is thrown
    - Ensures Maven fails gracefully with a meaningful error message
    
    ## Backward Compatibility
    
    This change is backward compatible as it only affects error handling for 
invalid
    POM structures. Valid POMs continue to work as before, while invalid cyclic 
structures
    now fail gracefully instead of crashing.
