Description

We need to find a way to deprecate starters and let the users know. Probably using the build plugins.

spring-boot-starter-oauth2-authorization-server -> spring-boot-starter-security-oauth2-authorization-server
spring-boot-starter-oauth2-client -> spring-boot-starter-security-oauth2-client
spring-boot-starter-oauth2-resource-server -> spring-boot-starter-security-oauth2-resource-server
spring-boot-starter-web-services -> spring-boot-starter-webservices
spring-boot-starter-web -> spring-boot-starter-webmvc
