RepositoryResourceMappings now processes all entities to detect repository mappings.

We now consider all registered PersistentEntity instances and try to detect repository metadata for them. A case we didn't cover before was that a repository was declared for an aggregate super type but the actual child aggregate class didn't have a dedicated repository declared. While this is a perfectly valid scenario, the mapping information was broken as it fell back on the plain domain type information and produced paths and relation names derived from that, even if there's a super type repository available.

Thus, solely traversing the aggregate types we have repositories registered for is not enough. We now traverse all known PersistentEntity types and also register repository metadata for all types that are assignable to a known domain type. The latter is actually implemented in Spring Data Commons' Repositories via spring-projects/spring-data-commons#2406.
