Spring Boot's HttpMessageConverters has been removed in favour of Spring Framework's, but the reference documentation still referred to it. Update the remaining references and, where the surrounding text described the convenience bean it used to provide, describe the client and server customizers instead.

@MacAlsandair thanks. Arguably this should have been done as part of deprecating it. I'll review and backport to |

Spring Boot's HttpMessageConverters was removed in 07f8034 (gh-50955), but a few pages in the reference docs still refer to it.
In web/servlet.adoc and io/rest-client.adoc it's just a reference swap to Spring Framework's HttpMessageConverters. In how-to/spring-mvc.adoc that wasn't quite enough — the text there described the convenience bean and its methods for accessing the default and user-enhanced converters, which no longer exist, so I reworded those parts around ServerHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer and ClientHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer. I tried to follow the wording already used in the HttpMessageConverters section of web/servlet.adoc.
