Unify is-new-detection for entities in mapping package [DATACMNS-1333]

[spring-projects-issues]

Oliver Drotbohm opened DATACMNS-1333 and commented

For historic reasons, we currently have multiple places in which identifier lookups and the algorithm for the is-new-detection is implemented. Originally implemented in the EntityInformation abstraction (which was tied to repositories), we now also keep a similar implementation in IsNewStrategy used via a factory mostly from the auditing subsystem.

We should move to unify these approaches in PersistentEntity as we already implement the identifier and property lookup there, allow store specific overrides. This also means that repository implementations could work with PersistentEntity instead of EntityInformation. As this would require more intensive refactoring, we could refactor the PersistentEntityInformation implementation to completely delegate to PersistentEntity and deprecate all related implementations of EntityInformation (the one handling Persistable etc.).

Also, we should deprecate IsNewStrategyFactory and rather move IsNewAwareAuditingHandler onto the is-new-detection to be exposed from PersistentEntity
