Merge manual item meta-data

Previously, manual meta-data were added to the existing set of entries
which could lead to duplicates if a manual entry is meant to complement
a property that is detected via the processor.

We now match the name and type of the item against the auto-detected
entries. If no match is found, we add the extra entry as we did before.
If a match is found we override the description, default value and
deprecation information.

Closes gh-3562

+Spring Boot's configuration file handling is quite flexible; and it is often the case
+that properties may exist that are not bound to a `@ConfigurationProperties` bean. You
+may also need to tune some attributes of an existing key. To support such cases and allow
+you to provide custom "hints", the annotation processor will automatically merge items
+from `META-INF/additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` into the main meta-data
+file.
+
+If you refer to a property that has been detected automatically, the description,
+default value and deprecation information are overridden if specified. If the manual
+property declaration is not identified in the current module, it is added as a brand new
+property.
 
 The format of the `additional-spring-configuration-metadata.json` file is exactly the same
 as the regular `spring-configuration-metadata.json`. The additional properties file is
