We now build against a newer Servlet API version to align with Spring Framework.
Also, introduce a version property servlet.version for centralized version management.
Closes#1951
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.

Finally remove the dependency to Spring WebMVC from Spring Data REST's core module. Removed previously deprecated methods and update test configuration applying customizations.
Related tickets: DATAREST-1543.
Removed Java8PluginRegistry not in use anymore anyway. Same for RepositoryRestConfigurerAdapter. Deprecated legacy ResourceMappingUtils and its client code exposed in RepositoryRestConfiguration as it's also not considered anymore.
Slightly tweaked the configuration model to rather handle the CorsRegistry via RepositoryRestConfigurer.configureRepositoryRestConfiguration(…) rather than RepositoryRestConfiguration itself. That allows moving of Spring WebMVC as a dependency in the core module.
The original methods exposing access to the CorsRegistry are now still available in deprecated form to not break existing clients.
Follow-up ticket: DATAREST-1542.
We now use Spring's path prefix capabilities to apply Spring Data REST's base path to its mappings. This was previously implemented by tweaking the matching conditions.
We now also pick up Spring 5.3's PathPatternParser and apply that to the custom HandlerMapping implementations we register.
Moved DelegatingHandlerMapping into the configuration package to be able to keep it around in package scope.
Deprecated RepositoryRestConfiguration.getBaseUri() as we have only supported paths for quite a while now. Moved all client code to ….getBasePath() instead.
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.
