Remove bean cycles

- Shuffle things around into different auto-config and configuration
  classes and use other tricks like ObjectProvider to work around
  boot 2.6.x imposing bean cycle checks.
- This is first set of changes to work around this issue, not
  to make things perfect. Further refactoring work is needed
  making code base more boot 2.x friendly as things are based
  on boot 1.5.x times.
- Fixes #324
