Ankur Mhatre 958b401f0f Spring Boot startup time: bean-by-bean diagnosis, and one directory per post
Adds spring-boot-startup-time/, the companion project for BLOG-618: a runnable
Spring Boot 4.1.1 application on JDK 25 that installs BufferingApplicationStartup
and FlightRecorderApplicationStartup behind a system property, and a /diag/startup
endpoint that computes step self time -- the number /actuator/startup does not give
you and the one that names the actual culprits.

Captured under docs/output/: the step tree sorted both ways, the same startup as JFR
events, a +5000-class experiment putting 0.11 ms per scanned class on the classpath
scan tax, the silent truncation a 2048-step buffer performs, and JDK 25 AOT cache
timings (6.93 s to 4.82 s). Post body and metadata live in post/.

Moves the existing Actuator project into actuator-in-production/ so the repository
holds one directory per article; the root README is now an index.

### profile: details upstream deliberately sleeping 30s per request
### demo.upstream.timeout-ms = 750, so the indicator gives up long before the stub replies
$ time curl -s http://localhost:8080/actuator/health/externalApi

The read timeout is what bounds this, not the endpoint. Remove setReadTimeout from
ExternalApiHealthIndicator and this call blocks for the full 30 seconds, holding a
Tomcat worker the whole time.
