Phillip Webb 3105a38884 Introduce EndpointID to enforce naming rules

Add an `EndpointID` class to enforce the naming rules that we support
for actuator endpoints. We now ensure that all endpoint names contain
only letters and numbers and must begin with a lower-case letter.

Existing public classes and interfaces have been changes so that String
based `endpointId` methods are deprecated and strongly typed versions
are preferred instead. A few public classes that we're not expecting
to be used directly have been changed without deprecated methods being
introduced.

See gh-14773

= Spring Boot - Actuator

Spring Boot Actuator includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and
manage your application when it's pushed to production. You can choose to manage and
monitor your application using HTTP or JMX endpoints. Auditing, health and metrics
gathering can be automatically applied to your application. The
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready[user guide]
covers the features in more detail.

== Enabling the Actuator
The simplest way to enable the features is to add a dependency to the
`spring-boot-starter-actuator` '`Starter`'. To add the actuator to a Maven-based project,
add the following '`Starter`' dependency:

[source,xml,indent=0]
----
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
----

For Gradle, use the following declaration:

[indent=0]
----
	dependencies {
		compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
	}
----

== Features
* **Endpoints** Actuator endpoints allow you to monitor and interact with your
  application. Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and you can also add
  your own. For example the `health` endpoint provides basic application health
  information. Run up a basic application and look at `/actuator/health`.
* **Metrics** Spring Boot Actuator provides dimensional metrics by integrating with
  https://micrometer.io[Micrometer].
* **Audit** Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that will publish events
  to an `AuditEventRepository`. Once Spring Security is in play it automatically publishes
  authentication events by default. This can be very useful for reporting, and also to
  implement a lock-out policy based on authentication failures.
