3.0-M3 released

[Andrus Adamchik]

Happy to announce Bootique 3.0-M3 release! Its scope is quite significant. A lot of boilerplate is gone from the core (more on this below) and all the JavaEE stuff is explicitly deprecated in favor of JakartaEE. Specific highlights:

1. Creating a module has become easier. We got rid of BQModuleProvider (with deprecation). Now the module itself can define its metadata and auto-loading properties via a new "crate" API.

2. Another huge boilterplate reduction - configuration objects (aka "factories"), can now inject dependencies, so they no longer need to be passed to the factory method

3. Introduced a concept of a "deprecated" module. Modules marked as deprecated via the JVM annotation or via the "crate" API, will generate log warnings when you include them. This should help with upgrades. And of course we put it to good use ourselves per the next item.

4. All JavaEE modules that have newer JakartaEE analogs, got deprecated. This will be supported in 3.0, but you will be prompted to migrate to Jakarta. This effort is almost complete. The only lagging module is "bootique-tapestry", and we also need to switch injection to "jakarta.inject".

5. As discussed before, some modules got deprecated without replacement ("bootique-undertow", "bootique-jdbc-tomcat", and a few more), and "bootique-kotlin" got entirely removed from the distro per my other email earlier today.
