Migrate to spring framework 6

Objective

GeoServer uses the spring-framework 5.3 which will reach end-of-life in December 2024. This provides motivation for all roadmap planning in calendar year 2024.

We are already getting concerned inquiries in response to CVE scans recommending upgrading to spring-framework 6. We look forward to your support of this activity.

In order to stay on a supported version of spring-framework we need to migrate to spring-framework 6 for December 2024.
