Address review comments: group Spring Boot BOM overrides, drop thymeleaf + lz4 plumbing

- Group tomcat, commons-lang3 version properties under spring-boot.version
- Drop thymeleaf override (PE-only dependency, not present in CE)
- Drop lz4 plumbing: kafka-clients 3.9.2 and cassandra-all 5.0.7 now transitively ship at.yawk.lz4:lz4-java, making the Dec 2025 CVE hack obsolete
