Moritz Halbritter 52d9ba58d8 Move appendix subsections under appendix section
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.

= Configuration Metadata
include::attributes.adoc[]
Spring Boot jars include metadata files that provide details of all supported configuration properties.
The files are designed to let IDE developers offer contextual help and "`code completion`" as users are working with `application.properties` or `application.yml` files.
The majority of the metadata file is generated automatically at compile time by processing all items annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`.
However, it is possible to <<configuration-metadata#appendix.configuration-metadata.annotation-processor.adding-additional-metadata,write part of the metadata manually>> for corner cases or more advanced use cases.
