Spring Boot 2.2 apps should use spring-data-rest-hal-explorer rather than spring-data-rest-hal-browser

The following warning is generated at startup with the current configuration:

2019-07-08 10:58:52.310  WARN 40615 --- [           main] o.s.d.rest.webmvc.halbrowser.HalBrowser  : Spring Data REST HAL Browser is deprecated! Prefer the HAL Explorer (artifactId: spring-data-rest-hal-explorer)!

Workaround:

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId>
	<exclusions>
		<!-- exclude deprecated module in favor of spring-data-rest-hal-explorer -->
		<exclusion>
			<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-data-rest-hal-browser</artifactId>
		</exclusion>
	</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-data-rest-hal-explorer</artifactId>
</dependency>

We shouldn’t rush to do this. After making the recommended switch both Chrome and Safari on macOS beach ball and the browser process consumes 100% CPU.
