We no pipe the Spring MVC ConversionService into the JSON Patch path binding. That usually is a FormattingConversionService at runtime and also supports the conversion of dates.
The ConversionServices is configured into the BindContext(Factory) we use for binding. The context then exposes the EvaluationContext set up with it.
Fixes#2233.
Revert the changes that employed manual annotation lookup as that would cause invalid associations of fields and accessor methods for properties shadow renamed. Instead, we now use MappedProperties that already contains a mapping between the Jackson field names and Spring Data property names.
Fixes: #2165

RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration now implements EmbeddedValueResolver to forward the StringValueResolver given to both BasePathAwareHandlerMapping and RepositoryRestHandlerMapping.

Added test case and re-enabled the base URI to be prepended even in case a controller path prefix is configured. That functionality had been lost with the originally submitted changes.

We now replace the original value of polymorphic properties with the newly deserialized one if the type of the new one is different from the old one. We still copy all JSON ignored properties to the new instance to make sure that non-exposed, server-side state is retained. We apply the same handling for explicitly immutable source and/or target types.
Fixes#2130.
