Decouple maven installation from Jenkins by using the reference applications maven build wrapper

The reference application (spring-petclinic) has a maven build wrapper. This enables the application to be built using mvn wrapper. E.g. ./mvnw clean install.
In my opinion, we should make use of this build wrapper because;
- It decouples the Maven installation from Jenkins.
- It helps ensure the build server is building/testing the application the same way as the developers.
- Maven version stored in version control alongside the application code.
- Easier to maintain different maven profiles/versions per application.
See #39 for example.
