springboot Provide a condition for detecting war deployments

If a war file is deployed to Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow, we currently configure and customise the servlet web server factory even though it will never be used. It would be useful to be able to make the configuration and customization conditional on the app not being deployed to an external container.

Spring Cloud has a similar requirement to do something different in a war.

Adding a note here in case we need to return to this issue in the future.

The code below currently works because we set the ServletContext quite late in the embedded case. With a war deployment, it's set very early.

ServletContext servletContext = applicationContext.getServletContext();
if (servletContext != null) {
    return ConditionOutcome.match("Application is deployed as a WAR file.");
}
