We now ignore failures from setting property paths for date-based auditing properties. With DATACMNS-1461 we introduced a lenient approach for create/modify user properties and this change now consistently introduces lenient error handling for all properties.
QuerydslPredicateArgumentResolver now properly handles predicate lookups that result in null values. The semantics of a handler method parameter of type of Querydsl's Predicate have been tightened to always see a non-null Predicate by default. Users that want to handle the absence of predicates explicitly can opt into seeing null by annotating the parameter with @Nullable or use Optional<Predicate>.
QuerydslPredicateBuilder now consistently returns null in case the original parameter map is entirely empty or consists of only keys with empty value arrays as empty form submissions do. This partially reverts the work of DATACMNS-1168, which moved into the direction of returning a default Predicate value for empty maps in the first place. That however prevents us from producing empty Optionals.

We now log the module name during repository scanning to indicate the used module and to avoid confusion about duplicate initialization when a single module is used that supports both, imperative and reactive repositories.
We now render depending on the projection-collection attribute the appropriate return type that is used for example code to inject also alternate return types such as Mono/Flux for reactive module documentation.
We now return the content length as size of a Chunk if no Pageable has been used to create a Chunk. This makes the usage of a Chunk without an explicit Pageable work just like it was requested with the size of the given content.
We now skip PersistentPropertyPath instances pointing to auditing properties for which the path contains a collection or map path segment as the PersistentPropertyAccessor currently cannot handle those. A more extensive fix for that will be put in place for Moore but requires more extensive API changes which we don't want to ship in a Lovelace maintenance release.

We now catch the MappingException produced by trying to set auditing property paths containing null intermediate segments and ignore those. A less expensive (non-Exception-based) approach is going to be introduced for Moore as it requires API changes to the property path setting APIs.
