Moving To Spring 5.3, Spring Boot 2.6, Spring Cloud 2021.0.1

In order to keep the framework healthy we have decided to upgrade to Spring Boot 2.6, Spring 5.3 and Spring Cloud 2022.0.1.
If you are moving from Spring Boot 2.3 to Spring Boot 2.6 you might want to review the changes that happened between 2.3
and 2.4. You can review What is new in Spring Boot 2.4 by Phil Webb (@phillip_web).
Please review the Spring Boot 2.6 Release Notes if you are interested on the new features available.

Deprecation of collectionType as part of the @InputArgument annotation. (#977) @kilink

The @InputArgument annotation doesn't need the collectionType anymore when you are mapping to a List, Map, or other collections.
To do this we are now leveraging the Spring Framework's ResolvableType utilities directly.
