Previously we used org.glassfish:jakarta.el as our default EL
implementation. Since adopting it we have learned that it can be
significantly slower than Apache Tomcat's EL implementation in some
scenarios. This commit switches to using
org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-el by default instead of the
Glassfish implementation.

Previously, Spring Boot's modules published Gradle Module Metadata
(GMM) the declared a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This provided versions for each module's own dependencies but also had
they unwanted side-effect of pulling in spring-boot-dependencies
constraints which would influence the version of other dependencies
declared in the same configuration. This was undesirable as users
should be able to opt in to this level of dependency management, either
by using the dependency management plugin or by using Gradle's built-in
support via a platform dependency on spring-boot-dependencies.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot's build uses
spring-boot-dependencies and spring-boot-parent to provide its own
dependency management. Configurations that aren't seen by consumers are
configured to extend a dependencyManagement configuration that has an
enforced platform dependency on spring-boot-parent. This enforces
spring-boot-parent's version constraints on Spring Boot's build without
making them visible to consumers. To ensure that the versions that
Spring Boot has been built against are visible to consumers, the
Maven publication that produces pom files and GMM for the published
modules is configured to use the resolved versions from the module's
runtime classpath.
Fixes gh-21911
Update all dependencies declarations to use the form `scope(reference)`
rather than `scope reference`.
Prior to this commit we declared dependencies without parentheses unless
we were forced to add them due to an `exclude`.
Replace Gradle single quote strings with the double quote form
whenever possible. The change helps to being consistency to the
dependencies section where mostly single quotes were used, but
occasionally double quotes were required due to `${}` references.
This paves the way for publishing Gradle module metadata once the
problem caused by snapshot versions and our two-step publication
process has been addressed.
See gh-19609
This reverts commit b34a311d02 as,
having disabled the publishing of Gradle's module metadata (4f75ab5),
the changes are no longer needed.

Previously, enforcedPlatform dependencies were using to pull in the
constraints defined in spring-boot-dependencies and
spring-boot-parent and applied them strictly so that the constrained
version had to be used. This worked as intended in Spring Boot's own
build but incorrectly enforced those same strict version requirements
on external consumers of Spring Boot's modules.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot defines its internal dependency
management so that platform dependencies are exposed to external
consumers while enforced platform dependencies are using internally.

This commit removes the validation starter from the web and
webflux starters - we've reconsidered that choice since many were
not using this feature as part of their default web experience.
Thit commit also changes the default EL implementation for the
Jakarta implementation, aligning all servers on it and simplifying
dependency management (especially exclusions that were required
previously).
