Extract functionality from the `RegistrationBean` into a new class
designed to work with dynamic registration. Servet and Filter
registration beans now extend from `DynaimcRegistrationBean`, where as
`ServletListenerRegistrationBean` extends directly from
`RegistrationBean`.

This refactor allows the removal of `ServletListenerRegistrationBean`
deprecated methods.

Fixes gh-11344

Fix NPE accidentally introduced during refinement.

This reverts commit 2c52b9e8

Align `MapBinder` with `IndexedBinder` so that if a value is specified
any converter exception are propagated.

Remove unused code and polish implementation so that the binder is not
created on each invocation.

See gh-10516

Move the 'shade' copy of the JSON API to a separate src folder to make
it clearer that we don't own the code. Also polished some formatting

* pr/11528:
  Add missing dependency management for org.seleniumhq.selenium

Closes gh-11528

This commit removes MediaType from the list of exclude types as it looks
like an error: MediaType has a constructor taking a `String` and binding
works fine with it.

This has the effect of properly generating the metadata for the only key
that Spring Boot exposes with a MediaType type:
spring.data.rest.default-media-type.
