SWI-3723 [Snyk] Fix for 3 vulnerabilities

[bwappsec]

Snyk has created this PR to fix 3 vulnerabilities in the maven dependencies of this project.

Snyk changed the following file(s):

• samples/server/petstore/java-pkmst/pom.xml

---

This release includes two major, high-risk upgrades that require significant developer action before merging.

• org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web (1.5.6.RELEASE → 3.4.11): This is a massive upgrade across two major versions (1.x → 2.x → 3.x). Key breaking changes include a required upgrade to Java 17 and the migration from Java EE to Jakarta EE, which renames packages from javax.* to jakarta.* across the entire codebase. Numerous configuration properties and core dependencies like Spring Security have also changed significantly.
• net.logstash.logback:logstash-logback-encoder (4.11 → 9.0): This upgrade also spans multiple major versions. Version 8.0 and newer require Java 11. Given the Spring Boot upgrade requires Java 17, this is compatible, but configuration and class name changes are highly likely across this many versions.

Recommendation: These upgrades are substantial and will require a dedicated migration effort. It is strongly advised to handle this in a separate, focused effort and not as part of routine dependency updates. Developers should follow the official Spring Boot 2.x to 3.x migration guides.
