TransformImageServiceConfiguration no Longer Activates Blob Transformation Beans

Spring configuration class com.coremedia.cap.transform.TransformImageServiceConfiguration of module com.coremedia.cms:cap-transform no longer imports com.coremedia.cap.transform.BlobTransformerConfiguration. This makes it possible to create application contexts that provide access to the transformImageService bean without actually activating all the beans necessary for blob transformation. Such application contexts are the ones of feeder applications, for example. Class com.coremedia.cap.transform.BlobTransformerAutoConfiguration has been deleted along with this change. The Spring XML configuration resources framework/spring/mediatransform.xml of Blueprint shared/middle module image-transformation and com/coremedia/cap/transform/transform-services.xml of module com.coremedia.cms:cap-transform have also been removed. Use TransformImageServiceConfiguration instead.

Update of MongoDB driver to 4.11.1

The thirdparty dependencies org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-legacy, org.mongodb:mongodb-driver-core and org.mongodb:bson have been updated from version 4.8.2 to 4.11.1. This is marked as a breaking change, because custom implementations can potentially use changed API of the MongoDB driver.
