#1021 - Tweak setup of @EnableEntityLinks to make sure it only runs on Spring WebMVC.

We now clearly separate the beans registered by configuration backing @EnableEntityLinks into the ones that depend on Spring MVC being used and commonly shared ones. Tweaked the setup of @EnableHypermediaSupport to rather include the individual configuration classes instead of using @EnableEntityLinks directly as that would always pull WebMVC specific components.
