Description

We usually have play.api.something for Scala and play.something for Java. This is not consistent for ApplicationProvider:

  1. Java version is play.server.ApplicationProvider
  2. Scala version is play.core.ApplicationProvider

See https://github.com/playframework/playframework/pull/7300#pullrequestreview-36584049.
