In general we do not recommend using @PropertySource due to them being
added to the environment too late for auto-configuration to use them. This
commit updates the documentation to mention them in the list of external
sources along with a note.

Previously, our Gradle plugin was not tested against Gradle 6.0,
a number of deprecation warnings were output when using the plugin
with Gradle 6, and some functionality related to the application
plugin did not work as expected.
This commit tests the plugin against Gradle 6. It also avoids calling
deprecated APIs. The plugin is compatibile against Gradle 4.10 where
the deprecated APIs' replacements are not available so reflection is
used to call the replcaements. Lastly, the way in which the base name
of the boot distribution that is created when the application plugin
is applied has been modified to ensure that it is effective when using
Gradle 6.

Previously, the documentation did not provide any guidance on using
Jersey alongside Spring MVC or any other web framework.
This improves the documentation in two ways:
1. It notes that, in the presence of both Jersey and Spring MVC, the
Actuator will prefer Spring MVC for exposing HTTP endpoints.
2. It adds a how-to describing how to configure Jersey to forward
requests for which it has no handler on to the rest of the filter
chain. When Spring MVC is the other framework, this allows them to
be handled by its dispatcher servlet.

This commit is a continuation of the work done in 987a5f81. In
addition to developers and licenses that are covered in the earlier
commit, a number of other settings are still inherited from the
starter parent. This commit updates the documentation to show them
being overridden as well.
Closes gh-18532
Publishing to Maven Central requires spring-boot-starter-parent to
declare its license and developers. When a user then uses
spring-boot-starter-parent as their project's parent, these values
are inherited and this is almost certainly unwanted.
This commit updates the documentation to recommend and demonstrate
overriding the license and developers that are inherited from the
starter parent.
Closes gh-18532
