Update to Spring Boot 3.5.8 and align dependencies

[justin-tay]

Description

Upgrade the dependencies while making it still compatible with Spring Boot 3.5.8.

Motivation and Context

• Update dependencies to non-vulnerable versions
• Ensure compatibility to newer versions
• Change in ExportApiEndpoint to throw exceptions is due to newer version of Jersey which fails when using sendError
• Change in ExceptionMapper to remove the javax.annotation.Nullable annotation is because the latest version of Guava removed the jsr305 jar
• Change in ElideFeature is due to GraalVM 21+ no longer setting java.class.path so ClassGraph cannot find classes during native build time
• Change in FetcherFetchTest is to update the expectation as the GraphQL error message has changed

How Has This Been Tested?

All existing tests pass.
Native compilation using Spring Boot was tested with the example compiling using GraalVM 21.
Manual testing was done using the example to ensure it is working.
