Updated dependency

pzrep/dbot-asciidoctor-plugin-with-dependency#1

• org.asciidoctor:asciidoctor-maven-plugin:3.0.0 to 3.1.0 (it's fine and expected)
• org.asciidoctor:asciidoctorj:3.0.0 to 3.1.0 (it's not fine)

What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw

I expected to see org.asciidoctor:asciidoctor-maven-plugin:3.0.0 to 3.1.0 only.

Actually I see update of plugin AND unexpectedly its dependency org.asciidoctor:asciidoctorj:3.0.0 to 3.1.0 (which version at this moment does not exist - but that seems to be unimportant as this plugin and its dependency do not share their lifecycle and it's a coincidence that in this moment of time they shared the same version 3.0.0).
