Covers auto-discovery mechanics, annotation layering (@WorkflowImpl vs @ActivityImpl + @component), WorkflowClient injection, worker lifecycle, testing strategies, and Spring-specific gotchas. Updates java.md and testing.md with pointers to the new reference.

What was changed
Added a new
references/java/spring-boot.mdreference covering the temporal-spring-boot-starter integration. Updatedjava.mdto point to it from the Worker Setup section andtesting.mdto include Spring Boot-specific testing strategies.Why?
The Java references had no Spring Boot content despite it being the dominant Java framework. The primary gap was auto-discovery mechanics — how
@WorkflowImpl/@ActivityImplannotations combined with workersAutoDiscovery.packages config register implementations with workers, and the common silent-failure when either is missing.Checklist
temporal-spring-boot-autoconfiguresource and a working Spring Boot project using the starter.
