Switched to use @RequiredArgsConstructor where possible. Slightly rearranged test cases. Inlined JacksonMappingAwareSortTranslator to not expose it as bean unless necessary. Use static Jackson BeanClassIntrospector to avoid unnecessary recreation.

We now consider Jackson field names when resolving Sort arguments. Domain model properties annotated with @JsonProperty("sales") can be specified by their Jackson-mapped field name in sort arguments. Field names are mapped to their according persistent property names to be used in repository query method sorting. Unknown field names are silently dropped.

Previously, NestedEntitySerializer failed to handle Maps correctly as the logic to convert the found values to nested resources tried to handle the values as is, not explicitly looking at the values instead.
We now use an explicit code path to turn the values into resources so that links pointing to other resources are rendered correctly.

Spring 4.3 returns Content-Type headers including the character encoding. We needed to relax our assertions on the content type headers to only check for compatibility.
Deprecated the ResourceProcessor invoking infrastructure in place here in favor of the types moved to Spring HATEOAS. Refactored our codebase to make use of these newly introduced types right away.

Upgraded to JSONPath 1.1.0 as 0.9 is not supported with Spring 4.2 anymore. Tweaked integration tests due to changed semantics and internals of JSONPath >= 1.0.
Extracted store specific tests into separate test modules to prevent classpath overlap between projects. Those tests are now executed in an "it" build profile to prevent the tests being packaged for distribution on release.
Use Map-based repositories and mapping contexts for test in the Core and WebMvc module.
Slightly changed the configuration API for lookup types on RepositoryRestConfiguration.
