In case a link relation's target exposes a profile link (via HTTP HEAD and "Link" response header), we now try to obtain a JSON schema from the target resource and use a custom view based on the JSON Editor library fro non-GET requests.
This creates a customized, user friendly pop-up dialog for data entry with a nice polished look. If there is no profile link, we use a fallback editor for raw JSON input.

RepositoryRestConfiguration now exposes an option to enable enum value serialization and a nested configuration object to tweak the details.
If enabled, a Jackson serializer and deserializer is registered trying to resolve the enum values from the Spring Data REST resource bundle using the fully-qualified enum value name as key. If no explicitly configured value is configured a default translation is triggered that capitalizes the lowercased value name replacing the underscores with spaces (e.g. PAYMENT_EXPECTED -> Payment expected). This can be opted out of, of course.
On the parsing side the deserializer will also consult the resourcebundle and default translation but also accepting the enum name as is (also opt-outable).
Deprecated non-bean-style accessors for projection and metadata configuration on RepositoryRestConfiguration to make these options tweakable via Spring Boot application properties by default.
Added a module that repackages the webjar version of the HAL browser. The repackaging is necessary to be able to control the exposure of the browser dynamically and prevent Spring Boot's auto-exposure of webjars from kicking in.
Tweaked BasePathAwareHandlerMapping to default the Accept header to the one defined in the configuration if none is present in the request or */* is given. This will make sure we default to a JSON dialect in case no header is set.
