Parse @PropertySource annotations on SpringApplication sources
If any of the sources has a @PropertySource annotation (or many) then we can add those properties to the Environment. It's a nice convenient way of specifying a custom external properties location for an app. One problem is that Spring will come along and parse the same annotations later as part of the @Configuration parsing. The user has pretty limited control over how that is done, and it will never be done in a "natural" way for a Boot application (which would prefer that the default application.properties is applied *last*, whereas Spring will apply the @PropertySource last). To get round that problem we add the property sources with a different name (key in the PropertySources in Environment), prefixing named property sources with "boot.", and adding others with a name that is the same as the resource location (instead of its description, which is the default for Spring). Another problem is that Spring doesn't know about YAML, so the user is currently restricted to using properties files with this annotation.
