spring-cloud-azure-starter-appconfiguration-config fails with org.springframework.cloud

[Hjertaas]

As soon as org.springframework.cloud BOM is added, any application that has spring-cloud-azure-starter-appconfiguration-config dependency fails with a stacktrace in which the following is the main takeaway:

Factory method 'appConfigurationRefresh' threw exception with message: com.azure.spring.cloud.appconfiguration.config.implementation.AppConfigurationReplicaClientFactory has not been registered

To reproduce, you may use this pom.xml which is based on the follwing sample: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-spring-boot-samples/tree/main/appconfiguration/spring-cloud-azure-starter-appconfiguration-config/spring-cloud-azure-starter-appconfiguration-config-sample

@Hjertaas It seems that sample hasn't been updated for the new major version, I'll get that updated. In the meantime see https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-app-configuration/howto-convert-to-the-new-spring-boot.
