Prior to this commit, Spring Boot had an `HttpMessageConverters` class
that allowed, to configure message converter instances for MVC server
applications and traditional Spring HTTP clients.
As of Spring Framework 7.0, Framework ships its own
`HttpMessageConverters` class, aligning with the existing codecs
configuration on the WebFlux side. As a result, a few methods taking
`List<HttpMessageConverter>` as arguments were deprecated in favor of
the new arrangement.
This commit adapts to the Framework changes by deprecating Boot's
`HttpMessageConverters` in favor of Framework's. This splits the client
and server configuration as they are meant to be managed separately.
Applications can still contribute `HttpMessageConverters` (Boot's
variant) beans but the type itself is now deprecated.
Instead, applications should now contribute
`ClientHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer` and
`ServerHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer` beans to customize message
converters.

Relocate `RestTestClientBuilderCustomizer` to `spring-boot-test`
and break the direct link to web-server by making use of
`spring.factories` and the new `BaseUrlProviders` class.

Relocate `WebTestClientBuilderCustomizer` to `spring-boot-test`
and break the direct link to web-server and http-codec by making
use of `spring.factories` and the new `BaseUrlProviders` class.
A new `spring-boot-test-integration-test` module has also been
added to ensure hold the previous tests.

Remove spring-boot-json-test module and spread code between
`spring-boot-test`, `spring-boot-test-autoconfigure` and JSON
technology modules.

Make `spring-boot-test-autoconfigure` optionally depend on
`spring-boot-autoconfigure` so that it can be an `api` dependency
for `*-test` modules. Also relocate it to core.

Move `@PropertyMapping` and supporting code from the
`spring-boot-test-autoconfigure` module to `spring-boot-test`
since it's generally applicable.

This commit modularizes spring-boot-test-autoconfigure. It now
contains only the code that's central to test auto-configuration.
Feature-specific functionality has moved out into -test modules,
some existing and some newly created. For example, `@DataJpaTest` can
now be found in spring-boot-data-jpa-test.
Closes gh-47322
