    Bug 40163: Avoid checking hash of .pom files
    
    A pom file of hosted third-party dependencies may be modified at any
    time after publication. These files contain metadata about a version of
    a repository. We avoid computing and verifying the hash of downloaded
    .pom files that are listed in a project's gradle-dependencies-list.txt
    because they change unpredictably. This should be safe while the .pom
    file is not modified in such a way that it is rejected by gradle and
    while we still check the hash of non-.pom files.
