NestedEntitySerializer now skips the wrapping into an EntityModel if the target serializer is a JsonValueSerializer as EntityModel requires the value to ultimately resolve into key value pairs as it's only enriching something that's rendered as JSON document with hypermedia elements.
The fix for DATAREST-1535 has changed the default allowed methods for CORS requests to a smaller set than we originally returned. This commit reinstantiates the default to be set to all HTTP methods, Spring Data repositories support by default.

Verify that Jackson properly serializes to ISO-8601 format, which includes three potential timezone endings. Expand CI testing against both Jackson 2.10 and 2.11. Also test these profiles against JDK 8, 11, and 14.

We now use the current request's URI as base link for all links created for a collection resource. This especially has effect in the creation of pagination links as we now carry potentially applied critierias (induced by our Querydsl based filtering support) forward to the navigation links generated.
Moved off Spring Framework deprecations for HttpMessageNotReadableException. This required some rearrangements of method signatures for types (hopefully) exclusively used by internal abstractions (some public, but not very friendly for user extension in the first place).
Switched to consistent use of Pageable.unpaged() instead of null. Switched to the use of new factory methods in Spring HATEOAS. Some Java 8 based improvements in request handling to simplify the implementation code. Deprecation of code that got obsolete due to the use of the factory methods.
Moved off some deprecations in Jackson APIs.
Removed a couple of unused imports. General avoidance of common warnings. Suppression where needed. Removed dead code in configuration.
When merging new data into a PersistentEntity, JsonNodes of array types were deserialized into immutable Lists, but the list is later mutated if the source and target arrays are of different sizes. This commit ensures that an array is deserialized into a mutable list.
