Description
Related to #97
Update the project to support dropwizard 4+, which have migrated to the jakarta namespace for the servlet api. This should be a simple lift-and-shift of the dropwizard 3 module, with the metadata filter moved into the jakarta namespace.
Update: After trying a simple lift-and-shift, I realized this is not as straightforward as I hoped. The jakarta namespace change is simple. However, Dropwizard 4 has also moved to logback 1.5, which has relocated the logback-access module and its namespace, which breaks our underlying logback instrumentation. Releasing Dropwizard 4 will likely require supporting this new version of logback.

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing Dropwizard 3 module and its metadata filter, then trace the underlying logback instrumentation affected by the jakarta namespace and Logback 1.5 relocation. Done means Dropwizard 4+ support works with the jakarta servlet namespace and the relocated logback-access module.
