Brian Clozel f61ac29f3f Document HttpMessageConverters detection changes
This commit updates the reference documentation to better reflect
changes applied in gh-48310. As of Spring Boot 4.0.1,
`HttpMessageConverter` beans are all considered as "custom" converters
and will be set ahead of the converters list in the auto-configuration
support.

For more specific changes, developers should contribute
`ClientHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer` or
`ServerHttpMessageConvertersCustomizer` beans to better reflect their
intent: should the converter be configured for client, server or both?
How should this converter be used?

Previously, Spring Boot was relying on heuristics but they would cause
issues for server-only converters, or for specific configuration that
were not meant to replace the default converter for a given media type.

Closes gh-48574
