Xavier Hanin resolved IVY-740.
------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.0-RC1

I've implemented this new feature, we now have two resolve modes:
- 'default', which corresponds to the classic resolve mode, and behave as usual
- 'dynamic', which uses revContstraint attributes instead of rev when analysing dependency metadata

To implement this, I've concentrated the responsibility to know which revision is required by a dependency descriptor in ResolveEngine#getRequestedDependencyRevisionId(DependencyDescriptor, ResolveOptions) . This should also ease the implementation of IVY-753 (we may have to change the signature of the method though, to get more context).

> After IVY-739 is resolved, ivy will have new metadata that keeps the "original constraint rule" metadata in published/delivered ivy files.  Therefore, during a resolve, it would be nice to be able to use the original constraint rule instead of the specific revision it was published with by toggling on a new resolve mode.  Maybe this mode is toggled on via a new attribute on the resolve task, not sure.  But what is important is that this new resolve mode can be toggled on or off on a per module basis by a new attribute, perhaps "resolveMode" or "mode", on the module tag in the settings file.  This would allow a specific module to always be resolved to the lastest version in the repo regardless of what was used to build the parent module that is referencing it.
