Description
The change in https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/31828 is breaking a native image deployment as follows:

Research direction
Start in SpringApplication.java around deduceMainApplicationClass and findMainClass, and review the change in pull request 31828. Reproduce or inspect the native image failure involving StackWalker.StackFrame.getMethodType; done means main application class deduction no longer invokes the unsupported operation in a native image deployment.
