We previously didn't render the curie information if the process of curying didn't actually change the link relation if it was already given in a curied form. We now check preprocessed link relation for a curie and include the curie information if we find a curie.
CollectionModelProcessorWrapper erroneously returned a raw type in case a CollectionModel type assignment check failed which rendered the element type verification to always match as it's effectively compared against Object.
We're now returning null to rather proceed with the next candidate type.
Let HalForms register a custom ObjectMapper customizer to allow separate customizations. If HAL and HAL Forms are supposed to be customized the same way, the same customizer can be registered on both instances. Tweak the application of the customizer to happen inside the configuration classes, not on the outside.
Prepare HalFormsConfiguration to become a fully immutable type in 1.3. Javadoc and assertion polish.

We now use a custom serializer for EntityModel.getContent() as we need that to still return the Map content for programmatic clients. The serializer skips maps entirely and programmatically unwraps all other content.
A simple Converter (@JsonSerialize(convert = …)) to filter Maps unfortunately didn't do the trick as that causes a a delegating serializer to be registered for the property and @JsonUnwrapped stops working as it's designed to work with bean serializers only.
Adapted test cases accordingly.

Custom media types do NOT require registering a MediaTypeConfigurationProvider implementation with spring.factories. The reference docs must be updated to illustrate this. Also add to the javadocs so users are properly warned.
HalModelBuilder is now able to take Stream instances directly immediately resolving them so that clients don't have to call ….collect(Collectors.toList()) all the time. Some internal rearrangements and stricter null guarantees in EmbeddedWrappers.
Moved PropertyResolvingMappingDiscoverer into server.core package. Unified MappingDiscoverer arrangement in WebHandler and use it from there. Deprecated AnnotationBasedMappingDiscoverer to be able to make it package protected in 1.3.
Made implementation class package protected to not expose it. Avoid the use of Optional for hot code paths. Removed factory method as we only use the type internally anyway.
Removed test customizations as the discoverer is now just leniently opting out if not ApplicationContext can be found.

According to https://github.com/blongden/vnd.error, logref is for "expressing a (numeric/alpha/alphanumeric) identifier". This patches `VndError` to support both strings and integers, ensuring each serializes properly.
NOTE: `VndErrors` has been deprecated due to the spec itself being dead since 2014. However, it must be supported until fully removed from Spring HATEOAS.
