Description

We've had package tangles between .boot and .context packages in the past (see #30272 and #32815 for examples). It feels like classes such as AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext and AnnotationConfigReactiveWebServerApplicationContext should be lower level concerns and not be aware of SpringApplication.

Perhaps we can restructure things.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the relationships between the .boot and .context packages, focusing on AnnotationConfigServletWebServerApplicationContext and AnnotationConfigReactiveWebServerApplicationContext. Read the examples in #30272 and #32815, then determine and document an agreed package restructuring; completion requires a decided approach rather than only identifying the tangle.
