Update all dependencies declarations to use the form `scope(reference)`
rather than `scope reference`.
Prior to this commit we declared dependencies without parentheses unless
we were forced to add them due to an `exclude`.
Replace Gradle single quote strings with the double quote form
whenever possible. The change helps to being consistency to the
dependencies section where mostly single quotes were used, but
occasionally double quotes were required due to `${}` references.
The Spring Cloud Connectors project has been deprecated in favor of the
Java CFEnv project. The Boot auto-configuration and starter that support
Connectors were deprecated in Boot 2.2.
This commit removes the Connectors auto-configuration, starter,
and dependency management.

This paves the way for publishing Gradle module metadata once the
problem caused by snapshot versions and our two-step publication
process has been addressed.
See gh-19609
This reverts commit b34a311d02 as,
having disabled the publishing of Gradle's module metadata (4f75ab5),
the changes are no longer needed.

Previously, enforcedPlatform dependencies were using to pull in the
constraints defined in spring-boot-dependencies and
spring-boot-parent and applied them strictly so that the constrained
version had to be used. This worked as intended in Spring Boot's own
build but incorrectly enforced those same strict version requirements
on external consumers of Spring Boot's modules.
This commit reworks how Spring Boot defines its internal dependency
management so that platform dependencies are exposed to external
consumers while enforced platform dependencies are using internally.

The Elasticsearch transport client has been deprecated since Spring Boot
2.2.0 and is about to be removed from Spring Data Elasticsearch and
Elasticsearch itself in their next major releases.
The available REST client support variants are now the preferred way of
using Elasticsearch features.
