Description:
Generate a maven settings.xml containing by default <interactiveMode>false</interactiveMode> : https://maven.apache.org/settings.html#simple-values

Justification:
Disabling interactiveMode activates batch mode and disables download progress indication which is very useful when viewing logs (it also reduces size of logs).
Rather than systematically adding parameter --batch-mode and -ntp to maven invocations in steps, it's easier and cleaner to configure it globally in settings.xml.
