Subject: [PATCH] chore(build): scope byte-buddy as test to keep it out of the
 published POM

Mockito already excludes its transitive byte-buddy and we pin a single
version in a standalone dependency; that dependency was missing a scope,
so the published POM advertised byte-buddy as a compile dependency even
though no production code references it. Setting <scope>test</scope>
keeps the version pin while keeping byte-buddy off consumers' runtime
classpath; mvn dependency:tree now shows both byte-buddy and
byte-buddy-agent only with :test.

Part of v1.6.5 publish hygiene (PR-7.2).
