auto-configurations from a file in META-INF/spring-boot.
Adapts the AutoConfigurationImportSelector to use the new loader.
Adapts the ImportAutoConfigurationImportSelector to use the new loader.
Adapts the metadata plugin in the build to additionally load the
auto-configurations from the new file.
Updates the documentation for auto-configurations and test slices.
Closes gh-29872
This commit makes @ConstructorBinding optional for a type
that has a single parameterized constructor. An @Autowired annotation
on any of the constructors indicates that the type should not be constructor
bound.
Since @ConstructorBinding is now deduced for a single parameterized constructor,
the annotation is no longer needed at the type level.
Closes gh-23216
This annotation can be used to mark auto-configurations with a dedicated
annotation. Under the hood, it's a standard @Configuration with
proxyBeanMethods set to false.
Closes gh-29870
This involved a small code change to the generated configuration
properties snippets. The section id has to start with
'appendix.', otherwise the section-id asciidoctor extension
complains. To ensure that the anchors that are derived from the
section IDs remain backwards compatible, the anchor-rewrite
properties have been updated.

To preserve our existing Kotlin 1.3 baseline, we should compile our
Kotlin code with Kotlin 1.3 API and language versions. At the same
time, we want our documentation to use modern Kotlin. This commit
restores the 1.3 convention and overrides it to 1.6 in the docs
project. This maintains our Kotlin 1.3 baseline while also allowing
the Kotlin code examples to use 1.6 API and language features.
Closes gh-29654
