The usage of text/uri-list as media type was entirely broken and not even advertised in the reference docs anymore. It's now again supported for both to-one and to-many associations via Collections. Maps are rejected as they cannot be rendered as list of URIs correctly. Updated reference documentation accordingly.
Added a custom MapModel implementation of RepresentationModel as apparently using Maps with EntityModel does not unwrap the content properly due to [0].

Correct a regression regarding association links. Introduce several test cases to prove this situation is fixed regarding PUTs for association links.
Source of the bug: 554d6cb27b (diff-1d7c16fe1992fef13a47fa8ab8599718L317) flips the criteria from "not single" to "single" without checking for related impacts.
We now rely on the MessageResolver capabilities of Spring HATEOAS to benefit of the optimizations in resource bundle resolution. Tweaked a couple of tests to make sure they properly use the resolver resorting to the default message the MessageResourceResolvable exposes.
We now enable CORS handling for all requests by overriding the newly introduced hasCorsConfigurationSource method. We cannot detect CORS configuration handling solely on the handler but require path headers to resolve repository interface mappings.
With the upgrade to a newer Mockito version we also require an upgrade to a newer ByteBuddy version. Out Hibernate version pulls an older version of ByteBuddy and so we need to exclude the transient dependency to use the newer ByteBuddy version.
Previously the backend identifier derived from the URI was set as identifier on the object to be created in a PUT request. However, in case a custom entity lookup is used, this is not the identifier but an arbitrary property pointed to through user defined code, mostly a method reference.
We now use the newly introduced MethodInvocationRecorder API in Spring Data Commons to be able to obtain the property that is supposed to be used and set that to the value calculated. This requires the entity type for which the custom lookup is configured to be non-final as the invocation recording is build on top of proxies.

Adapted RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration to now create a shared fallback ObjectMapper and avoid to register it as Spring Bean. Adapted test cases that previously were relying on such a bean being present.
Adapted test cases to verify on the correct ALPS document structure (see spring-projects/spring-hateoas#665).
ExposureConfiguration exposes methods to register AggregateResourceHttpMethodsFilter and AssociationResourceHttpMethodsFilter (both applied by type or globally) to customize the supported HTTP methods by collection, item and association resources. It also provides shortcuts for common use cases like disabling PUT for item resources etc.
