Spring Boot 3.0 Migration Guide

With Spring Boot 3 having been released two weeks ago, I'd like to explicitly mention the Spring Boot 3.0 migration guide again (also for personal reference and documentation purposes).

Problem Spring Web: A Library for Handling Problems in Spring Web MVC

Problem Spring Web is an implementation of the proposed application/problem+json HTTP API problem details response for Spring Web (im both its MVC and WebFlux flavours).
