Spring HandshakeWebSocketService causes early initialization of LogFactory when creating native image

Affects: 6.0.12 (spring boot 3.1.x)

---

I recently upgraded my project to use Spring Boot 3.1.x(from 3.0.x) and I am getting an error when trying to build a native image. The stack from the build error is

 [creator]     Error: Classes that should be initialized at run time got initialized during image building:
    [creator]      org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory was unintentionally initialized at build time. org.springframework.web.reactive.socket.server.support.HandshakeWebSocketService caused initialization of this class with the following trace:

In my sample repo I am getting this error by adding implementation("com.twilio.sdk:twilio:9.12.0"). The library must be using the spring websockets which cause this error. Let me know if since I can only repo it by using another library if I will need to figure out another way to repro purely using HandshakeWebSocketService

This error looks similar to the one discussed in https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/30575, in order to fix it, you should exclude the transitive dependency on commons-logging:commons-logging. After discussing with @snicoll, I have created https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/37890 to see if we could have such exclude done automatically by Spring Boot or not.
